I just started season 2 today! It’s been a while since I’ve watched season 1 (and have not read the books) so I’m a little confused, but I’m sucked back in to the characters. The aes sedai are just so cool. 🤩

Honestly I’m even confused by some things because they are changing things. There was a time jump and definitely some mystery as to what is going on right now. This is a pretty comprehensive recap: https://youtu.be/MYK5J5p6yQ8?si=BUwYzKkrU6frsTJS

My husband read the series years ago, so when the show first came out he for me to watch it. Then we dove into the books together, we’re more than halfway through the series now, our reading slowed over the summer. The show has become very different from the book in ways, but I think the spirit of it remains in tact. I was caught off guard by how the first few episodes of season 2 felt, but I’m feeling more open minded about it now.

What I’ve noticed this season (which feels stronger) is they are taking small details that happened off the page and digging into them or giving something that happens to one character to another. Season 1 they were just setting up the board almost and NOW it’s becoming the Wheel of Time. I just need to see where they are going with Mat.

I know I can see it all coming together but Matt feels like a wild card (which I suppose is canon😆)

I hope them get him on track for book Mat soon. I think losing the actor messed up the plot they had planned for Seasons 1 & 2.
