      After finishing the first episode of the show, I turned off the television and spent 20 minutes explaining why I refused to watch another second of it to my wife.

        After watching the entire first and second seasons my wife still didn’t (edit: completely) understand what the dark one is, what it wants, or who Rand is, why he’s important, or who the forsaken are and what they want.

        I think that says a lot about the shows inability to convey even fundamental foundational information about the series.

        ETA: Once I explained everything to her it all made sense, but that should have been the shows job, not mine.

      I really enjoyed the first season.

      The books were great but they seriously suffered from lack of editing. Example: nobody needed to see that much of Mat whining and being an ass on the barge ride up the river and I’m glad the show left it out. I’m cautiously optimistic that the show will pull off judicious improvements to the storytelling.
