Mildly bored byThe Rings of Power?
Amazon Prime
Angry thatThe Witcherdoesnt feature more of Henry Cavills butt?
I have a fantasy series that will cure all of your woes.
Maybe it will even cure your non pop culture-related mental illnesses, too!
Its calledThe Wheel of Time, and if you havent started watching, then now is the time.
There are hot people in it.
But lets go over the other reasons to watch, just for fun.
It also doesnt have the burden of established future events that it must lead up to and explain.
(Dont ask; just watch.)
In addition to all the magic, there are also complex cultures and bustling cities to explore.
It never feels like too much to keep up with.
While this may be off-putting for fans of theWheel of Timebook series, its very welcome for newcomers.
(Cough,House of the DragonSeason 2.)
However, the pacing makes up for it.
Plus, in Season 2, the costumes, geography, CGI, and makeup all get an upgrade.
The show looks good, and the big action sequences look plenty realistic.
The cast
This shows star attraction is none other thanGone Girlherself, Oscar nominee Rosamund Pike.
Unapologetic wokeness
Lets make woke a good word again, shall we?
Cuz this show is high key woke.
Same sex relationships are revealed as casually as the series magical concepts.
Color-blind casting ensures a realistically diverse and lived-in universe.
Reminder: This series was created by a man.
Anyway, this cast is hot.
After all, youll get to binge watch all two seasons of this show in one sitting.
Or, at least, youshoulddo that, since Season 3 is about to come out on March 13.
