Loosely based on Robert Jordon’s best selling Fantasy series, The Wheel of Time, Season 2 continues the storylines set up in Season 1. In this new season, Rand al’Thor (Josha Stradowski) and his friends are separated and under attack by the evil Dark One and his minions. Meanwhile, Moiraine Damodred (Rosamund Pike) and her Warder, Lan Mandragoran (Daniel Henney), are trying to protect Rand and company despite losing their special abilities.
I’m most interested any segment of The Wheel of Time with Rosamund Pike in it. As in Season 1, Season 2 has eight episodes full of conflict and magic. A third Season has been approved. Mildly entertaining. GRADE: B
I enjoy Pike’s work…did they write good business for her to do, or is she simply elevating the project?
Todd, Pike is financially involved in THE WHEEL OF TIME project. She’s clearly the best actor in the series!
I enjoy Pike’s work…did they write good business for her to do, or is she simply elevating the project? (My first attempt to post this Incisive Question went directly into Moderation. Kill either one!)(or both!)
Todd, the WORDPRESS Moderator AI seems to have it out for Cap’n Bob…and sometimes you!
I don’t watch it, but Jackie does. She said series two is “more violent” than the first one. I agree about Pike. I always like her.
Jeff, Jackie is right! Season Two is more violent than Season One. I wish there was more magic.
Jackie said for fantasy and magic she recommends The Witcher, Shadow and Bone, and His Dark Materials, none of which I watch either.
Jeff, I’m reading the novels that SHADOW AND BONE are based on. I did watch a couple of episodes, but I’m way behind.
For me, Season One put the meh in meh-aningless. I probably won’t go on to Season Two.
Jerry, Season One was slowly getting the context for THE WHEEL OF TIME established. Now, in Season Two, more fighting and action.
We’re enjoying season 2 more than season 1.
Jeff, I’m mid-way through Season Two and glad Season Three has been approved.
