“In Los Angeles 2099, Cora lived her entire life on the run, a chameleon forced to adopt numerous identities. To secure a stable future for her brother, she assumes one final identity and is forced to partner with Olwen, a Replicant who’s confronting the end of her life.”
I wouldn’t give this a whole lot of hope since this is Amazon. They managed to even make Wheel of Time OK at best.
Okay? OKAY? It was awful! Truly horrendous. What a terrible outcome for such a beloved book series. Their show runner should never be allowed to run anything except commercials after that.
OK at the very best. Look, I am hurt, too, and I had wished for the series to exist for a long time. The only reason I said it was OK (in spots) was because at times it looked cool at times and there are people out there that care about that.
“Ok at best” is generous…
That show was an abortion of television. Robert Jordan is doing barrel rolls in his grave.
Pretty sure that’s why you haven’t seen any Sanderson adaptations yet.
Sanderson was doing his best to wash his hands of it when it was released. He publicly stated that his opinion was ignored, and that he won’t do any TV or movies unless he’s given more control. Imagine the hubris required to ignore the best living modern fantasy writer, a writer who actually worked with Jordan on the series, and wrote the last 2.5 books, and instead rewrite the script to just do your own thing. Truly mind boggling.
Yeah I don’t know if their idea was to court people who haven’t read the books, but this just leads to alienation of book readers and they failed to create a good show to begin with.
