Now, I'll start with this: I only read the Eye of the World prior to starting this show, so I am not emotionally attached to or even knowledgeable about some of the stuff that will come. I can see why certain plot points or arcs missing/replaced would upset some, but to me, with my very fresh eyes for this series, I am pleased and enjoying the show so far.
I am not 100% with all of the casting choices (though, I don't know how these characters will develop in future, so some of them might make more sense in the context of what they'll become), but this episode was great.
It looks beautiful and exciting, as always. I think, if nothing else, the props and scenes just look stunning most of the time and make it worth the time and the subscription fee.
And I have to say, I absolutely dread to read all these 1/10 reviews with the word "woke" used in so many different forms that it makes me almost rip my jaws in half from cringing.
So far nothing that I have read is *that* critically different from what I've seen on screen.
So far, at any rate.
I hope they keep it up. The show started rough and was nowhere close to anything over 6/10, but I think it's really getting somewhere. The actors and portrayals are growing on me. Right now, I would've voted this 7.5/10, but I'll throw a 9/10 in just to counter some of the ridiculous 1/10 reviews.
It's definitely not a 10/10. Yet. I can absolutely see how some die-hard fans of the series might not like all of the changes (and for the most of it, I wouldn't even know yet, maybe I'll join the choir once I get further in the books and the stories diverge even more), so I can understand a low rating. But I find it hard to believe anyone would seriously vote this as low as 1/10. The looks alone carry it over that threshold, in my opinion.
