The Wheel of Time (2021)
Painful
I'm a huge fan of all things fantasy and will usually watch anything, but this show is painful to watch. Hard to pinpoint exactly what the problem is -- pacing, tone, bad writing or just wooden and uninteresting characters. Maybe a combination of all of those. Most of the time I have no idea what's going on and I don't really care. Beautiful visuals, though, so I'll give it a 5.
I don't expect an adaptation to be completely faithful to the source material, but here they seem to make changes just for the hell of it, and a lot of the changes make zero sense. Maybe they're just trolling us, or maybe they can't stand the books. If you've read them, I don't see how you could like this show.
Coyote (2021)
Good
The right-wingers are predictably whining about this. Just ignore them. After a couple of episodes, this seems to be a very good show.
The Outpost (2018)
Epic fantasy done right
Yes, the first episodes are cheesy and wooden, but this show really picks up after a while. Intelligent fantasy plot, good writing, lots of interesting characters. This was made by people who care about the genre.
