![]() The bad pacing present here is the main source of all the bad storytelling that plagues the rest of the show. ![]() Then after that scene, we are finally shown the village setting where five of our main characters are from, which promptly gets burned down about 33 minutes into the episode. This is a lot of information to swallow and understand in just the first minute, but the show moves right into the next scene where a group of women from the Aes Sedai, an organization the show doesn’t bother to elaborate upon until later, chases down a man. It begins right away with a woman named Moiraine who tells us all this important information in just a single minute - the world is broken, she’s an Aes Sedai, the man who broke the world is called the Dragon, that man has been born again, she doesn’t know who it is yet and she must find the new Dragon before the Dark One does. ![]() The first episode is the most egregious example of bad pacing. However, I do think there are definitely aspects the book did better. ![]() My complaints for the season are independent from my love of the book it’s adapting. ![]() The show suffers from bad pacing, bad filmmaking and a clear identity problem. Five of the first season’s eight episodes have been released, and I have many issues. ![]()
