Kathryn VanArendonk New York Magazine/Vulture In its second season, the Amazon fantasy series Wheel of Time, based on the unending Robert Jordan novels that start out like a Lord of the Rings rip-off, is a TV series that has figured itself out. Oct 11, 2023 Full Review Ben Travers IndieWire While I may not understand everything about The Wheel of Time, I can spot benchmarks of a Season 2 slump without any help from the One Power... Season 1 felt like it was moving. Season 2 feels like someone jammed a stick in its spokes. Rated: C- Sep 18, 2023 Full Review Clint Worthington RogerEbert.com Following a first season that struggled to build momentum, it’s doubly frustrating to see “The Wheel of Time” keep up that go-nowhere sensibility. Sep 1, 2023 Full Review Jon Negroni TV Line ...watching The Wheel of Time doesn’t hold a candle to sitting down with the novels for the first time and breathing in this story as Robert Jordan intended. But if it keeps up this momentum, who’s to say that pattern won’t change? Oct 7, 2023 Full Review Leon Miller Cultured Vultures A marked improvement on its predecessor, The Wheel of Time: Season 2 serves up an engaging – if decidedly free-spirited – adaptation of Robert Jordan’s beloved fantasy novels. Rated: 7.5/10 Oct 6, 2023 Full Review James Field Pajiba If you enjoyed last season and can let go of any expectations from the books, season 2 is worth the investment.

Audience Member After the disappointing first season, The Wheel of Time Season 2 had an opportunity to course-correct and deliver a more faithful, engaging adaptation of Robert Jordan’s beloved fantasy series. Instead, it doubles down on many of the same mistakes, resulting in a frustrating and often uninspired season that alienates longtime fans. Instead of improving upon the mistakes of the first season, The Wheel of Time Season 2 amplifies them, delivering an adaptation that feels both hollow and confused. By prioritizing unnecessary changes over faithful storytelling, the show continues to alienate fans of the books while failing to establish itself as a standout fantasy series in its own right. For those hoping for a Wheel of Time adaptation that truly respects the source material, Season 2 is another massive disappointment. If the show doesn’t drastically improve in future seasons, it risks becoming yet another forgettable fantasy series rather than the epic it was meant to be. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/01/25 Full Review Dread N One of the worst adaptation I have ever watch. They kill the story, the motivation and the how things happens. They spit on the books and then pretend people who don't like it for the story being butchered are evil and bigots. I've wanted to love that show so much, that I'm so disappointing in what was done to this amazing story, Ego is the destroyer of beauty and this show was made by people with to much ego and not enough talent. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/25 Full Review Chris M It's extremely hard to watch if you love the books. Not the adaptation we deserved or wanted. Oh how I've tried. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/25 Full Review Edward T This show unfortunately has drifted so far from the original story that it is little more than “Rafe fan fiction”. Can’t recommend for anyone sadly. It had so much potential. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/29/25 Full Review Benjamin G The world building continues and the actions amps up in the 2nd season. The whole seachan storyline is heart breaking to watch and the season really ramps up as it goes along. Top notch acting as well. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/29/25 Full Review Audience Member The show is absolutely phenomenal in every aspect. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/24/25 Full Review Read all reviews
