Set in a high fantasy world where magic exists, but only some can access it, a woman named Moiraine crosses paths with five young men and women. This sparks a dangerous, world-spanning journey. Based on the book series by Robert Jordan. Action,Adventure,Drama I wanted to like the show given how much I enjoyed the books, but there are so many changes it's like pulling threads out of the pattern, eventually it's going to unravel. I watch this with my wife and she has a hard time following what's going on as someone who hasn't read the books. It's a shame a quality production house like HBO didn't pick this up. The books are a treasure but you really need some talent if you're going to adapt to screen.
