Wheel of Time (first three episodes)

I first read Robert Jordan's first novel some time ago. I rather liked it with some caveats (although I'm not sure if that's clear). I had anticipated reading more in the series--at least until it got boring, but I seemed to have lost that path.

I still plan to revisit the series, but here's one take on the TV series adaptation of The Wheel of Time from Amazon's Prime. The first episode doesn't do a great job getting us to care about what's happening to the characters, but the events are engaging.

By episodes two and three, though, the characters start to show promise, so if the first episode doesn't appeal to you, give the next two a go to see if they start to rub off on you. The IMDB ratings of the episodes mirror my own reaction, leaping from 7.6 to 8.2.
