The Acolyte (2024– )
7/10
Great fist episode and nothing after that
20 June 2024
The first episode was quite interesting, the only one with some acting. Second episode was quite boring somehow the story started to lose its meaning. I definitely don't like the Jedi imagery. They are weak, stupid and do not exude either strength or dignity. The third episode was absolute nonsense, no sense, no scenarios, like it wasn't from the world of star wars at all.

I definitely think that the directing is very weak, the casting is mediocre, the acting is very weak and the script is like stolen snippets from other star wars stories but also put together without any sense.

I just watched the 4th episode and it was incredibly boring and some Sith bug at the end who clearly didn't see 7-8 Jedi as a threat.

Master Kelnacca were showing it as an excerpt from a documentary, no sense in his presence in this series just a waste of money for a costume.

Episode only with Liam Hemsworth will be 100 time better
1 August 2023
Well this episode is the worst in the entire series so far can't believe that the budget for this episode is more than 100k. No plot at all just 50 min waste of time and stupid and silly monologue with Ciri which character become so stupid and annoying.

Also the new Jaskier character look is so antipathic and his actions make no sense and I have no idea why he is part of this season hi is totality useless bring nothing to the story.

I know many people complain that Liam Hemsworth will replace Henry Cavill, but to be honest episode only with him as the Witcher will be 1000 times ore interesting to watch that this episode.

Is nothing more to reviewed in this episode because nothing happen.

This is The Middle Earth
2 September 2022
Even I was skeptical about some of the casts mainly Elrond and Celebrimbor I think the show is great made.

The landscape, the visuals, the costumes this is the world of Tolkin and for everybody that have read The Silmarillion or Unfinished Tales will know that the Elfs are not only what we have seen in Lord Of The Rings.

Its impossible to adapt 4000 years in TV series because well only the Elves are Immortal, so we need to accept some of the changes that TV show will brings.

I have no doubts that this show will have incredible success even all the hates and etc. Because the world of Middle Earth have maybe hundreds of millions fans and this 3000 here rate this show 1/10 so far it doesn't matter.

I activate my Amazon prime subscription only for this show and after watching the first episodes I did not regret and I believe many other will follow :)

Best of luck for the show that will make the dreams of millions realty.

Just watch it and enjoy it.

House of the Dragon: The Rogue Prince (2022)
Season 1, Episode 2
5/10
One really boring episode
28 August 2022
Entire episode nothing happen, even the dragon scene was boring na dso weak as action.

The small council is like some kind of joke like they manage kindergarten stuff.

Is like 1 years or something after episode one and so far only bla bla bla

I didn't imaging Targaryen's to be so weak and stupid and easy to manipulate there is nothing noble in them as family or as behavior and from what I can see nobody showing them any respect.

I really want to watch this but the only character so far that is not awful is this guy from Dorne don't even remembering his name and to be hones Corlys Velaryon is kind of OK you can say he is the head of some great house.

Maybe if the actor that play Daemon was not so antipathetic the last few minutes could have saved the episode.

This is the first time since the 1-st GoT episode that I start do do something else in the middle of the episode.

Hope it will get better.

8/10
Didn't expect more
22 August 2022
Episode ONE was not bad but in the same time nothing so special, after the horrible ending of GoT I didn't even wait for this show but will give him a chance.

I am big fantasy fan so I rate this 10/10 at the beginning but after watching it again well I don't know something is missing so I go for 8/10

May biggest problem so far is that I didn't like any of the main character so far.

Kings Landing look more advanced as a city and we are -172 years ...

Dragon's are cool

And there was no intro so this is big minus too.

The Wheel of Time: The Eye of the World (2021)
Season 1, Episode 8
8/10
possibly the worst ending
24 December 2021
Warning: Spoilers
All my reviews are public and everyone can see that they are super positive and with a rating of 10/10 on all seven episodes so far but the finale was absolute trash.

To be honest, at first I thought I was wrong and I played another series the opening was so bad. Latra Posae Decume is maybe one of the greatest Aes Sedai of all time and maybe is behind of creations of Choedan Kal but there is now way she knows what will happen if Lews Therin and his Hundred Companions go alone and that the Dark one will corrupt the male side of the one power and they will go mad this was so low level writing. I was surprised that she didn't tell him she would found the Red Adja so we could chase you after going mad. There was so better ways to give as something that make sense from the Age of Legends

I was ok with the changes so far because well this was Robert Jordan world even if not exact his story but this episode is just low level trash created by low level writer like Rafe Judkins that maybe believe that he is the dragon reborn but well he is not ... and I really feel sorry for the amazing cast this show have.

In the world of Robert Jordan The Blight is vast with the size of the United States and here it is with the size of Central Park in New York is such joke. The Eye of the world is in Malkier's backyard and Lan doesn't know where it is. And what a trace Moiraine leaves that anyone can follows her ??? Are we in Hansel and Gretel fairy tale.

Moiraine gives Rand a male sa angreal ? This was maybe the top of the stupidity or maybe how "the dark one" cut her from the one power.

I feel like " The Dark one" was taken from a Turkish soap opera and no Forsakens ???

Loial and so many characters that are important for the story got killed in a so stupid situations with no reason.

The scene of Nynaeve, Egwene and 3 others poor women was so bad like stolen from other tv series.

The only good moment in this episode was with Padan Fein.

After watching this episode 4 times I think Rafe Judkins' idea for this episode is as follows.

Ishamael manipulated Siuan dreams and the White Tower's knowledge of the Eye of the World so that They thought it was the prison of the dark one. In fact this big Aes Sedai symbol on the ground is the first seal and the entire idea of Ishamael here was not to turn Rand to the side of the shadow but to make him channel and break it so let him and the other forsaken free. He didn't even try to stop him or defend himself, he just sat there and smiled as the explosion from the stupid sa angreal burned him to the ground. I think even Moiraine might have realized it in the end. And well this idea is kind of really good for the story but was done on this horrible way and didn't work.

Another little theory I have and I hope is true because give me little hope is that The golden circle that Lews Therin has on his fingers in the prologue and later shown in the hand of Ishamael is The Ring of Tamyrlin a relic long lost and is sa angreal of immense power. This will make sense how Ishamael half-sealed in the Pattern is so powerful and cuts Moiraine from the one power like she is nothing. People who are familiar with the world of the Wheel of Time know that when someone holds the one power it is not so easy to be cut and I am sure at this very moment Moiraine hold as much as she can.

The Wheel of Time: The Dark Along the Ways (2021)
Season 1, Episode 7
10/10
my eyes watered for the first time
17 December 2021
The episode is so strong the best so far. There is so much building relationships between the characters.

Glimpses of the past for Rand's parents was very well made.

Fal Dara is unique the whole atmosphere in the city it's like immersing yourself in books and the world of The Wheel of Time.

The acting was so good and finally we all know who the dragon reborn is and he is just what he is in the book :P

Min's visions are uniquely recreated

Lan and Nynaeve moments made me smile and enjoy watching one of the best fantasy series ever made.

Black Widow (2021)
6/10
this was so bad for marvel movie
12 December 2021
Will give 6/10 only because Scarlett Johansson is in I like her a lot and the one that play her sister Elena was also good. But the hole movie was just stupid and unrealistic to such an extent that even the battle scenes that are supposed to grab you are boring. Is kind of waste of 2 h + from your life to watch it.

The Wheel of Time: The Flame of Tar Valon (2021)
Season 1, Episode 6
10/10
another great episode
10 December 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Love that we saw Siuan Sanche past and didn't wait 3 seasons for it, is part of the books and her story - from daughter of a fisherman to Amyrlin Seat is so cute.

I suspected that the picture window in Moiraine room was some kind of ter'anreal and an entrance to the world of dreams / Tel'aran'rhiod and I am so happy I was right.

The relationship between Siuan and Moiraine is as described in books they are friend since girls even their romantic relationship.

We saw the politics of the White Tower in all its glory te part with Logain and Moiraine punishment was very strong.

Moiraine is actually trying to cure Matt in Caemlyn so this part was also very good played and leaves the story of Matt with the dagger open for Season 2.

And finally we saw the roads, and they are just as scary and gloomy as they are described in the books.

Concerning the prison of the dark One and the eye of the world let us wait and see. Just because Suian says they're the same thing doesn't mean she's right.

For everyone who has read the books it should be clear that many things are not at all like Aes Sedai think they are.

The Wheel of Time: Blood Calls Blood (2021)
Season 1, Episode 5
10/10
finally at Tar Valon
3 December 2021
There wasn't as much action in this episode as in the previous one, but it was completely expected.

The white Tower and the city of Tar Valone look impressive.

Loial is cute, still I miss his ears

Little bit sad that maybe we will not see Elyas Machera but WoT have so many characters that understandable they have to cut some. However, we saw the yellow eyes of Perina and he is going to be something like werewolf alpha which is totally ok for me. I am big fan of Teen Woof as well.

The Wheel of Time: The Dragon Reborn (2021)
Season 1, Episode 4
10/10
Best episode so far
29 November 2021
I watch this episode 4 times and the last 10 minutes maybe 30 times ^^.

Just 1 word is ..... awesome!

Checking some other people reviews and can't believe there is people that gives rating 1,2 or 3. This can't be book fans for me or maybe they read it 25 years ago and didn't remember much.

I am really happy that all ratings are going up after this episode :) contrary to the desire of a group of trolls who even after the first episode said they would not watch it but write a mega negative review after each episode.

If 20 of 1000 book fans didn't like it but the other 980 love it maybe this 20 have to think about it what is wrong with them.

The Wheel of Time (2021– )
10/10
After watching all episodes and been blocked by Rafe Judkins
19 November 2021
Warning: Spoilers
The Wheel weaves as the Wheel wills but Rafe Judkins touches the Pattern even more than The dark One.... I want to point out that the casting is amazing: Rosamund Pike, Daniel Henney, Zoë Robins, Josha Stradowski, Kate Fleetwood, Priyanka Bose, Álvaro Morte, Johann Myers, Clare Perkins, Daryl McCormack I can't imagine better people for their characters. The rest of the cast is also very good.

The whole world with its iconic cities and locations like Tar Valon, the two rivers, Fal Dara are wonderfully recreated.

For the first episode which is the only one relatively close to the story in the books I could say that it was even better than the books.

Then in episode two we go to Shadar Logoth and here one of the most mysterious and interesting things in the books the essence of Mashadar - Mordeth - Mat story with the dagger and Padan Fain was completely changed. But I said to myself, I accept it, let's see what happens next.

In episode three we meet The Tuatha'an and they are also great.

Episode four is completely out of the story in the books but was filled with things that explain so much about the way this fantasy world exists as we had recreated the story of Logain which is only mentioned in the books. And this was so cool.

Episode 5 was nothing special but it was enjoyable to watch.

Regarding episode six, I personally liked it, but I don't agree with the way they developed the story. The exile of the Moiraines and the reaction of the sisters in the White Tower were all wrong. The way Moiraine healed Mat was unrealistic she is just no so powerful to do it.

Episode seven is probably my favorite. The Way were surprisingly well presented. The scene with Machin Shin and the lack of sufficient explanation of what it is and that it really has nothing to do with the dark one was kind of week moment. Fal Dara was uniquely recreated. The way Lord Agelmar reacted to an Aes Sedai was totally wrong. Min was not what I expected, but her visions were beautifully recreated

and here all good things are ending

The last episode was total trash nothing to do with history or the books or rules on which this fantasy world is based. I don't know exactly where to start 1. The idea that whoever went into the eye of the world without being the dragon reborn will die was foolish. The eye of the world is not the prison of the dark one and has nothing to do with what we saw in the episode.

2. The Blight must be dangerous and deadly and here it was just weeds that anyone could cross.

3. The distances were ridiculous 4. The idea that 5 untrained women could use The One Power in a way that even trained Aes Seadi would find difficult was foolish. In many places in the books it is described that these splits are inaccessible to Novices and Accepted. IF anyone can make them what is the point of decades of training in the White Tower.

5. In the world of the wheel of time, death cannot be cured, and this is fundamental.

6. Moiraine gives rand a male sa angreal in which the power of hundreds of the most powerful men is inserted. This is top of the stupidity. There is no way she can know or be sure even if is what she said. She can't touch the male side and check it no women can. Also what about Callandor or Choedan Kal. Perhaps in the Age of legends there have been millions almighty channeler or what ? Just imagine how thousand male channelers which cannot be linked to each other because man just can't to form a circle without women work together to create this stupid statue. This was total trash 7. Some main characters that appear until the end of the story and have their part to play got killed in the most stupid way, for nothing without reason 8. In the end we have Seanchan arrival and it could be so good if damane just have their a'dam but no they have stupid golden balls in their mouth.

Last episode ruin my Christmas this was not WoT world, This was not even close to Robert Jordan story or characters, this was just trash.
