About The Wheel of Time:
Set in an epic fantasy world, The Wheel of Time follows Moiraine (Rosamund Pike), a member of the incredibly powerful all-female organization called the Aes Sedai, as she arrives in the small town of Two Rivers. There, she embarks on a dangerous, world-spanning journey with five young villagers, one of whom is prophesied to be the Dragon Reborn... the one who will either save or destroy humanity.

Exactly what I felt while watching: Whenever Rosamund Pike appears in a scene, she has that magical presence that makes you stop breathing. She is an extraordinary charismatic actress, she is just perfect. 👌
Seriously, every time she's onscreen I forget that there are other people in this show. 😆 She's mesmerizing to watch! And don't even get me started on her voice.
I nnnHave nis is jj
YES.
When Rosamund/Moiraine channels, it feels different from others, more organic and magical. Not sure if it was a directorial choice to enhance her character but very lovely to watch. Just finished Season 2. What a wonderful actress
I loved Rosamund Pike as moraine, she emobodied the character so well I loved it 10/10🙌🏽💜
The tall red headed really good looking guy: "Who am I playing?". Director: "Padan Fain obviously"
Red isn't his natural hair color, though he could have had a hunch by his height and pale skin. Funny though cause Josha said Padan Fain (and Loial) is his fave at the premiere lmao
Rosamund and Josha have huge weight on their shoulders.... sure the other characters have their moments but those two have the lion's share resting on their performances, but so far they seem to be weathering it well. And I have to say Josha and Madeleine have an amazing chemistry.
Rosemund definitely is a foundation of the show. As they work on season 2 and learning to work around covid, i hope they get a better chance at making sure their storytelling ‘’marinate” a lil bit more.
I'm very curious how the doorway is going to be handled, considering.
i agree, i miss cast interviews...u get to see how they really are like when not filming. always makes me smile.
"Covid made them kill women and little girls in every episode instead of telling the story from the books. The show would have been good if more people wore masks and took the shots."
She literally carried the show, her younger counterparts were just terrible at acting.
@@stevewarwick2103 No accounting for taste. They were all fine at acting.
This cast is magical, individually and together. Rosamund Pike's involvement is what brought me to the show, and I love her Moiraine. I've also been a fan of Daniel Henney from his previous work, and the EF5 actors have completely won me over. So good!
It is so weird to hear him in an american accent, I really thought he was british and not becuase of the role and accent he has on the show. lollll, there are very few us people in fantasy shows. not complaining tho.
@@Charmedsas1 wr the ww
Great cast , awesome show!! Can’t wait for more!!!

Rosamund Pike is great in the role.
Oo
F
Hearing Daniel Henney talk about his experience broke my heart then made me so happy for him. ❤ That was very touching.
Okay, I fell in love with Moiraine, but didn't like the script much. I was thinking to read the books, but as I understood, she's not one of a main characters there, so there is no point, I think. Gosh, I just love Rosamund Pike so much, I think I should just do a marathon of her movies
YES.😭
Rosamund is the perfect choice for moiraine
Imagine moiraine goofing
I wish they give it a couple more episodes in future seasons
It feels really off that Barney is just basically stricken from all these behind the scenes stuff. I mean, the interviews were made during shooting, so they probably exist. I know the reasons of cause. It just feels a bit too much.
True. I mean, Barney did a great job even if he quit later. They should respect it. Best cast and play for me
Yea it sucks, I'd had like to see some interviews or some behind the scene clips of him. I assume it has to do with the nature of his departure and maybe theyre salty about it. Hopefully it wasnt on a sour note, but I don't see the show runners being happy and accepting of him leaving before the completion of season 2 unless it was extremely important. It was clear that it messed up the story at the end with him no longer being apart of the show.
fck him, Barney's a chump for leaving the show
@IdleBigots I dont want to throw shade without proof but the way amazon handled it its very likely that it was some very "no no" attitude like sexual harassment or something similar. He wouldnt be outcast so much otherwise (in case of health reasons or family reasons or whatever)
@IdleBigots Rafe said they were lucky he did such an amazing job and one of the producers in an interview said he was a joy to work with and wish him well. Doesn't sound like people he directly worked with had any problems with him.
I just hope he is ok.
Brilliant actors, Roseamund Pike, Daniel Henney.... brilliant show
I freaking love the show, the rendition, the characters portraid, and the nature scenes are just eye candy. Thanks for giving us the oppotunity to see the world realized. :D :D :D
"Full of metaphors this world" ... couldn't be more accurate. Robert Jordan loved his niche metaphors, so much so that hey created different sets of metaphors for the different cultures. Kudos to Rosamund for recognizing that. I love the casting for Moiraine and Lan, the 3 boys, Padan Fain, and Siuan.
Please watch Daniel Greene season 1 review… I completely agree with most of his review. Definitely add more episodes to each season to allow for more character and world building. Excellent casting! Looking forward to season 2
Agreed. Daniel has great insights into this world.
Daniel Greene's review was on point with what most of the fan base thinks. Hope the showrunners listen
Agreed the season needs more episodes for the story to be epic on TV
No they don't need more episodes. They just need to remove filter
Pppp
Why there's no liandrin ? I mean she is killing it in the show
huh?She is in the books later on
@@shaunduquette5992 I said the same ... Why is she not in video 🤷
@@_19463 Not a main character,especially early on.
They clearly didn’t find the perfect cast of writers.
The cast is lovely and the show has lots of potential,but please,please,allow Jordan's elaborate story to breath and give them more episodes to develope the characters and the rules of the magic system or it is in danger of becoming really campy and silly,in particular with the strange editing and also the nonsensical and confusing plots like Nynaeve's "revival" from the dead and a circle of just 5 chanellers,3 of them weak destroying Trolloc army instead of the Dragon himself doing that,there will be no tension and no stakes in the later story if this continues
Sorry, the show runners aren't interested in Jordans story, just using the skin of the books to make this garbage.
the main guy couldnt even believe himself he was chosen as Rand, well we couldnt neither.
They couldn't have done the cast more perfectly. Honestly I love all of them.
Have you heard of the wheel of time?
Have you read the books? The casting is terrible.
@@Balandrus Yes, I've read the books. 3 times to be more specific. I'm talking the acting
@@juliaalbrecht2669 I'm talking every aspect. The acting, writing, and casting are wrong. This show isn't Jordan's story. They gutted his story to push their narrative.
@@juliaalbrecht2669 is a mouth breathing npc.
The casting in this show is really good. The script is totally diabolical.
The casting is awful. You obviously haven't read the books.
Have you even read the books David?
I've read the books about 12 times.
They casted the Aes Sedai so well.
The Aes Sedai are all supposed to look like old spinster? They legitimately all look like elderly women. That's not how they're described in the books.
@@Balandrus I don’t agree but to each his own. And we all know sometimes they cast the best person for the role over anything else. Maybe why things aren’t adding up for you?
@@jst4572 They obviously didn't cast the best person for any of the roles. The casting is atrocious. None of the characters resemble the ones from the books, in any way. Except for, maybe, Rand. They've kept up this trend for season 2. Just look at the casting choice for Aviendha. She looks nothing how Aviendha, or Aiel, are described. It's obvious from the casting choices, story changes, and Rafe's own commentary on social media, they had no intention of doing a faithful adaptation of Jordan's story.
@@jst4572 more often than not they cast the WRONG person for the job. You are delusional to think otherwise.
They butchered the source material
I can't complain about the cast. They're great. It's the writing and editing that is terrible! This show had so much potential. I don't see it going anywhere.
Excellent cast and I have high hopes. Just dont screw it up with poor editing and lack of episodes so you can have some chance to connect to them all. Wheel of Time is all about various characters with different agendas. Season 2 minimum 10 episodes please. Also make the viewers understand how difficult it is to understand and even use the One Power. IOt was shown to casually and easy in Season 1
lol
Is that all theyre about? Im going to go out on a limb and guess youve never actually read the books before.
I couldn’t even make it 10 minutes into the first episode.
@Day exactly
Smart move
They found the perfect check boxes they mean.
"Finding the Perfect Cast'"
"We've replaced multiple actors for season 2"
Dis U?
Perfect Choices ...they all did such an amazing performance for this show. Can't wait for more!
I understand the disappointed book readers as they were promoting the series, created this huge hype around it and I don't think season 1 lived up to the expectations. I haven't read the books but I think season 1 was average, and episode 8 was pretty bad. Hopefully season 2 will be better. The cast is amazing though.
It was bad to just yall, really. New watchers loved it
@@eszterk.523 he means non-readers. I am a reader and i liked some episodes, wasnt too keen on others
I'm a book fan. Yeah there some issues but I have really enjoyed this show.
It was a complete travesty . Those aren’t Jordan’s characters . Almost none of them ask like the character from the books . Such a complete mess
If you haven’t read the books, this might be ok…but most of these characters are so far from the original book’s descriptions. We will see
Amazing cast! Season 1 was so good. Please don’t make us wait too long for S2.
I guess it's for late 2023.... Because lord of rings will release in September 2022
Rosamund pike ,es lo maximo ,excelente actriz,su interpretacion te transporta asu tirmpo.
I so wnna be a part of this show I freaking love wheel of time
Perrin is my fav from the 1st book, even tho most people said they didnt do much w him there, He left quiet an impression on me in the first one, maybe cuz i see some of myself in him.
I think he will have a lot more to do in Season 2, when he goes after the horn
@ryanb You're cooked m8
@@FieryFlamingFajitas I have no idea what this show is but your response made me laugh
@@allisonmiller3669 🤣
I did not read the books but Perrin is my fav from the 5 of them
great cast and production. but end result was not that great. so many plot holes, untold rules, basic explanations missing. ı know pandemic hit filming of this show but why the rush for unfinished cgi. and ı think if it was 10 episodes show would have been so much better. what is done is done. ı hope they step up in season 2 from being mediocre to an absolute fantastic show.
Why are your capital i's so tiny lol
Oh are they rebooting the show with a good cast?
The cast is just so so so great!
Literally 99% won't see this but, Whoever sees this have a good day and stay safe ❤️.
When you're a health inspector and you go into the kitchen and see Gordon Ramsay then be like 😳
At least 13 episodes from the next season Please
Please add more episodes so it doesn’t feel too fast! Can’t wait for season 2
The main cast has created my head cannon. Have really enjoyed the performances by Alvaro Morte and Peter Franzen. Their performances have made the characters real and memorable.
They probably should have first tried to find a perfect producer and perfect writers before finding this so-called perfect cast.🤨
Jajajajajaja el elenco perfecto si claro!!!! Están calcados a los libros!!
Nynaeva ve egwene muhtesem ikili sizi cok seviyorum
These behind the scenes videos are fantastic! Please keep them coming. 💙
Hun nnn.
When Moiraine and Lan look at each other 3:31 😭
Rosamund Pike is an excellent actress and perfect for her role on this show.
If she didn’t accept the offer for this show , I was thinking Carice van Houten (Melisandre in GOT) would be great too for this character as the Moiraine.
Eva Green...
@@freebird6591 Yes! She would be great, too. One of my favorites…
My feeling is Jordan would be disappointed in these screen versions of his books, I know I am. Either the script writers did not really read the books or the short comings were due to budget or perhaps just the director's poor vision of the stories. Though I do acknowledge that some of the actors have done an awesome Job with the limitations presented.
All of these directors think they know better than the authors/creators. They tend to disdain fantasy anyway. It's also tough when politics take presidence over artistry. In the 80's and even 90's you essentially had no idea what most directors politics were just based on their work. Now they hardly hold back with it.
Brilliant people~
"perfect" must mean something different in the last year than it did for the rest of time.
Absolute Diamond class casting
Amazing story ..
Thank you very much..
The show is convoluted. Definitely a show for women.
If I hadn't read the books, I'd have no idea what was going on in this horribly edited and scripted debacle. Having read the books, I know what's going on, but most of it is horribly contrary to the books.
I understand that changes need to be made. The series is too long to have everything adapted to the screen. That said, the changes you have made serve no purpose, destroy characters and character arcs, and have led to a very bland retelling of an amazing story. Seriously amazon, with only 8 episodes, why waste entire episodes on things that never even happened in Eye of the World? You have done these amazing actors a disservice by not letting their characters develop properly.
Either invest the money in a couple more episodes per season, or just cut bait and go home. I'm still watching, but this is like a mildly entertaining CW show for me, not the EPIC I expected and hoped for.
Edit: Moraine is not the lead character, FYI.
The cast have been an absolute highlight!
No hate, but I don't think Daniel Henney is playing the character Lan. I mean in this interview he described he's happy to play someone who's not a sidekick, yet Lan is absolutely a sidekick.
I don't know how much you read of the books, but I can assure you that he won't be the sidekick forever
@@purzelblumek.3132 At book 4 currently. I thought that might be they case, but in the beginning, he certainly is ^^
@@Soul2312 absolutely!
I wish you joy reading - the first time is always the special one
That’s how they have Done Lan
It’s a great cast. Now all they have to do is fire the writers, hire people with talent who actually like WoT, and start again. Maybe in 40 years will get the Villeneuve version.
I'm glad they found jobs
I’m such a fan of the books, they could not have screwed the casting up more. I really feel like they didn’t read the books at all.
Great cast. Bad writing and pacing.
Epic
The actors are fine. The writing is garbage. Toss the show runner. He has massively jacked up the story to the point of being unrecognizable. I cannot believe that Harriet allowed RJs story to be butchered. Not can I believe that Brandon Sanderson's advice was heeded. Don't bother watching. Read the books instead, thank me later.
Can’t wait for Tolkein’s lore to become a boring, low rent, melodrama just like Wheel.
"Global Footprint" with our cast...wow, as if THAT is important, WOT has multiple nations and ethnicities, and you could have had all the diversity in the world, which WOULD have made logical sense...but u wanted "diverse case"..
Is moraine the main character in the book?
No not at all . A pov character but not the main
She's not even in the story for most of it. Departs in like book 5 or something and doesn't return till the final chapters of book 13 or so. So yeah, no.
No, Rand is by far the main of the first book and then it gets shared between the Two Rivers folk. Moiraine is important but still a side character.
I will never understand why a brunette gets a blond wig and a blond gets a dark brown wig in a movie
You missed the mark on season 1...you change too much! You miss what is important and what is not. If I didnt LOVE the books I would have never finished season 1. It was sadly, very frustrating to watch. Get back to the story in the book! There is so much you DO NOT NEED TO MAKE UP elaborate ceremony, such as the horrible Aes Sedai funeral chest pounding. Get back to the books....I cant believe Harriet greenlit some of the changes. The overall change in plot was alright however. That could have went well...but to change the magic system(show what is happening from the point of the character viewing, yes, sometimes you will see no magic BUT you will see the effect still!), to change and make up ceremonies and nonsense...please, please, please, get someone who has read ALL the books and LOVES and respects them to work with the show. Please.
If you've never read the books I can see why you would like the show. Honestly why make the show if your not gonna follow the stoeyline of the book?
Carnival Row hindi dubbed release pleez
Pls we can't wait for the season 2
Solo veo esta serie por ver a Álvaro Morte
casting is good, but Lord they butchered source material and 8 episode season is a joke...
the most progressive, open minded and inspirational casting of a tv series that I can recall. nobody fits a mould, nobody is perfect, nobody is 'sanitised' for screen.. they all just feel like real people in a real world...and each beautiful in their own way. kudos to the ethics that guided this casting process.

@ryanb exactly how I've imagined it in my head for 20 years
Loved the cast and the show!!
Amazing series
All these actors used to be on soap operas because that's what wot is now...a daytime soap. Casting doesn't really matter.
The wheel of time is just simply amazing👍... Thanks Amazon Prime too
I Didn't like the cast at all except mourin 🙄
I have not a single positive thing to say about this show. It is a horrendous mockery of the books. Why don't more people talk about Lan (a dude who does self deprivation as a way to relax and vacations in the Blight) complaining about cold water? Nyeaneve has literally no descriptive attributes in common with her character. The Two Rivers never sees any immigration in the stories, which really makes the diversity in the show wasted on shoehorning these actors and actresses into roles instead of running into the incredibly ethnically and culturally diverse characters we should have met organically along the way. The show has no redeeming factors as far as I'm concerned.
Cast was excellent.
Story was very well done.
Fantastic effects and visuals.
Can't wait for next season..
I can only conclude you haven't read any of the books, haven't watched much TV, or are being paid to comment.
It was horrendous and an insult to Robert Jordan.
@@guymatthews9389 your spelling rad I presume means read..
Nevertheless...
@@robwelch1 Typos are hardly important in a CZcams response.
Your bizarre standards, that are seemingly so low, do continue to amaze however.
How many dislikes now?
Is their any possibility that Cate Blanchett will be in the season 2 or for the upcoming seasons🤔🤔🤔
Hopefully they get better writers/ showrunners for upcoming seasons so that the good actors and their characters can actually come through rather than the mess that the show was for the last 2 episodes.
The whole thing was bound to be a mess once amazon got their hands on it.
Better off to just cancel it.
They did a great job with the casting
No, they didn't. Read the books. None of the cast remotely resembles the characters from the books.
It's truly magical... ✨
At first I didn’t like Rosamund casting, She just didn’t match what I had in my head nor the physical aspects of the book, BUT, She has changed my mind, the scene with Logan was amazing and she nailed it all
This is an extremely watered down game of thrones, not character is even close to a character on the game of thrones, every time you changed scene on that show, you got to see a great character, pretty boring with light action sometimes
Good ad, horrible show =D
Oh, no. The showrunner speaks from his nose. That explains a lot.
Here's what I heard in this video:
"diversity and then one good actress to prop up this train wreck"
Omg . Daniel Greene was bought and paid for with his trip to the premier in London . The show was awful
. Such a disgrace to Jordan’s memory and his work .What a wasted opportunity. Bad writing , bad world building , bad cgi and yea much of the cast is not good . . Such a joke
By far, Rosamund Pike really helped make this series early for me.
Finding the perfect cast: "Ok this character is white in the books, make sure we cast someone of another nationality, race and skin color. Bonus diversity points!"
It’s a fantasy world so they’re race doesn’t really matter
@@coolsummers7668 every fantasy world now must be forced diversity. Even LotR

Love ❤️ Love the cast!! Great show!! More Episodes Please 🙏!!
