![]() ![]() Many generations ago, a man called the Dragon wielded so much magical power that he broke the world, and now a curse has been cast that drives any man who uses magic hopelessly mad. “The Wheel of Time” stars Rosamund Pike (“I Care a Lot”) as Moiraine Damodred, a powerful sorcerer and a member of the all-female Aes Sedai, who keep the world safe from magical dangers like - as we see in the show’s opening minutes - men. Or rather, a newcomer would very much have to assume that, since there’s very little evidence in the show’s first six episodes. A newcomer could reasonably assume that, after well over a dozen novels, there is something special about this series that warrants big-budget television treatment. Based on a lengthy book series by Robert Jordan (eventually completed, in accordance with the late creator’s notes, by Brandon Sanderson), “The Wheel of Time” is an epic fantasy adventure about swords, sorcery and reincarnation that has drawn an avid following. If you’re talking about Amazon Prime’s middling new “Wheel of Time” series, for example, certainly a little extra tinkering couldn’t have hurt. ![]() ![]() They say it would be a waste of time to reinvent the wheel but that’s not entirely true. ![]()
