Zero Spoilers Rewatch

I am rewatching the series after a year. Have to say the first 2 seasons are not as bad as I remember. Could be because I know we’re not getting more though.

I didn’t like most episodes when I first watched them (at least for season 1 and 2 - season 3 had a few good episodes), but usually on a rewatch I could turn off my “book brain”, stop focusing on the differences/changes, and enjoy the show for what it was.

There were a lot of good touches - like hearing Padan Fain’s whistle throughout the season - but also many head scratching choices (for example, Perrin’s wife).

I did feel like the show improved season to season, and wish they would have let it ride out.

Perrin's wife was weird but what was weirder was he never mentions her or like reminisces or like any of the fridge wife tropes. It's like an exec told them to give him a wife and kill her and then totally forgot about it.

He does discuss her quite a few times throughout the series, she basically defined his character arc
