He looks like he’s walked directly off a football field in some high school drama. well Rand worried me the most of any of these characters in the first episode. They have no children and seem very much in love. Perrin is a big old softy who spends his days hammering metal with his blacksmith wife. Neither seems to care about anyone but themselves. His mother is a drunk and his father a philanderer. We learn that Mat, despite being a thief, is generous and compassionate toward his young sisters-filling in for his parents, it turns out. We see Rand, Mat and Perrin joking around and gambling and drinking together and get a bit more off-color humor than I was expecting. Nothing much happens until suddenly so much is happening. ‘Leavetaking’ feels at once too slow and weirdly rushed. (Three are releasing Friday, November 19th and then five more will release, one per week, for the remainder of the season). Don’t let that turn you off, however, it gets better in each subsequent episode.

The first episode of The Wheel Of Time introduces us to a huge chunk of the show’s main characters and sets the events of the story in motion, but it’s a bit of a clumsy start.
