To quench your thirst for fantasy thanks to SVOD platforms, on this Friday, March 10, 2023, we advise you to start the weekend in style with The Wheel of Time (The Wheel of Time), on Prime Video.
Series The Wheel of Time on Prime Video, an immersive fantasy adventure
Lovers ofheroic fantasy will probably not be out of place if the name of Robert Jordan is mentioned. The American author thus imagined the saga The Wheel of Time, consisting of 14 novels and a prequel. Considered a monument of the genre but relatively unknown in France, this extended universe experienced a second wind at the end of 2021, with a series adaptation.
This very dense work is set in an imaginary world whose balance has been broken. To restore harmony to the Wheel of Time, a community of powerful magicians, the Aes Sedai, must find the Reincarnated Dragon. This young chosen one is among four reckless suitors: the stubborn Rand, the healer Egwene, the humorous Mat or the blacksmith Perrin. But they must beware of the Dark One, an evil entity that tries to trick them into destroying the Wheel of Time…
We prefer to lower your expectations right away: The Wheel of Time does not really reach the heights of Rings of Power or other medieval-fantasy series. But its panoramas as far as the eye can see, its breathtaking fights, its magical special effects and its eclectic cast of characters all the same make it a serious candidate to add to your watch list.
In just 8 episodes, The Wheel of Time thus manages to develop a solid narration with feminist accents, since only women can manipulate magic. The great sisterhood that emerges from the series then adds to its singularity, as the female characters are more often isolated than gathered in a community, in works of the genre. So don’t waste time before pushing the doors of this enchanting world, on this Friday, March 10, 2023: a season 2 is already in preparation.
