The Wheel of Time: First 3 Episodes Review

The Wheel of Time premieres with three episodes on Amazon Prime Video on Nov. 19, 2021. Spoiler-free review by Samantha Nelson.

The Wheel of Time is gorgeous, well-acted, and strongly written, a show that understands the characters and plot of Robert Jordan's books without being slavishly loyal to the source material. The first three episodes use a mix of gripping action and personal dramas to bring the pages to life while also providing an accessible introduction to series newcomers. The groundwork showrunner Rafe Judkins is laying shows he has a plan for the future. Hopefully, he will be given the time and money to see it through.
