I finally watched Season Two. All I can say, is that if someone wants to start watching the Wheel of Time, pretend this is the beginning of the series. Most of what season one did that is important is implied. Most of the truly dumb things in season one are ignored.

The tone improved, the pacing improved. It still simplified much of the story, but all in all it caught what the beginning of the book series felt like. It was so much improved that I'm willing to overlook much of the worts that are there.

That said, my biggest problem continues to be Judkins. He was so desperate to put 'his stamp' on the series, that he believes himself to be on the same level as Jordan and Sanderson, instead of just relying on the source material more.
