I got through ep 4 and quit. Same as you. Dull and woke as hell.
I really wanted to like Wheel of Time but it was just garbage.
Not just woke, but as I said earlier, dull. The sets look and the costumes are horrible.
And in a strange occurrence, that I truly believe is intentional, all of the female actresses are homely. And not just because they're not white. There's plenty of beautiful ethnic actresses. But it's like they made a conscious effort to hire physically unattractive women, to send some message or something about female beauty. Even the normally ravishing Rosamund Pike looks old and frumpy.
You guys are made of sterner stuff than I am: I made it through about 30 mins of ep 1
