Wheel of Time was terrible, just plain bad. Script, lousy, special effects equivalent to a 90's TV series, actors so bad they mumbled most of their lines and were bargain bucket ones at that.
In regards to LOTR, Lenny Henry has not done anything good in 20 years, the last decent TV series he was in was Chef, oh and the Delbert Wilkins show. As for the rest of cast, no names is a bad sign, unless people know of major actors cast? Will it be like WOT with the cheapest they can get? I note for next season of WOT, they have cast one the main character's (Elayne Trakand) with zero film or TV credits!
I look forward to Amazon "educating" me like Star Trek Discovery has done for the last four seasons....Note I have stopped watching Discovery, it is just so bad. Since the new studio head has taken over at Amazon, it has gotten worse.
It looks to be following the WOT model, Rosamund Pike is the only actor of any note in the whole thing - compare that to GOT...even the spin off has a far better cast than Amazon's LOTR.
There are a few people I have seen elsewhere, Joseph Mawl (Benjen Stark), Morfydd Clarke but when Lenny Henry is the biggest name is the whole thing that is scaping the bottom of the last barrel possible. Have you ever met a Lenny Henry fan? No me neither.
Think about it, probably the most expensive TV show ever made per EP, if not close to it, and your biggest star is Lenny Henry who is going to be playing a Hobbit for diversity purposes.
