There’s no meandering around the Two Rivers and getting to know all of Emond’s Field before the adventurers set off for what fans really want to see, and rightfully so.

In some cases, the show takes some welcome shortcuts and adds a few nice updates to an already well-worn story. Because the books have been completed, Jordan’s meticulous world is filled to the brim with baked-in ideas and stunning world-building that the screenwriters can pick and choose based on where they want everything to ultimately end.

When these characters and mystical forces collide with one another, it results in fairly satisfying intrigue and set pieces, plus some much-needed tension between those with power and those without. Rand al’Thor (Josha Stradowski) is the strong-willed leader of his friends, and he has eyes for Egwene al’Vere (Madeleine Madden), who has been all but promised to him as a wife from birth but has larger aspirations of her own. Perrin Aybara (Marcus Rutherford) is a gentle-natured blacksmith who fears hurting others with his large size and potentially dark nature. There’s Mat Cauthon (Barney Harris), a quick-witted sleuth who’s always up for a game of dice. But the central characters are where things get a bit more surprising and distinct. Yes, it’s a standard setup as far as high fantasy narratives go. The potential for absolute greatness (or destruction) leads Moiraine and her blade-wielding Warder companion, Lan ( Criminal Minds‘ Daniel Henney) to a remote village where four young adults apparently fit the description of the Dragon Reborn and must be protected at all costs from the seemingly all-powerful “Dark One” and his deadly hordes. She wants to find the “Dragon Reborn,” a prophesied reincarnation of a powerful individual who could either save the world… or destroy it. But unlike her contemporaries, she’s less concerned with seeking out and defanging male channelers. Moiraine (played by Gone Girl‘s Pike) belongs to an order of female channelers known as Aes Sedai. Women can learn to control these abilities quite well, but men “go mad” when they try it themselves, and are therefore deemed a threat to society. In this world, human beings can channel incredible, magical powers, but there’s a catch. The current “Age” looks a lot like Middle Earth and Westeros, but closer to a Renaissance period in terms of the clothes, technology and the arts. Set in a possible future perhaps thousands of years from now, mankind has already gone through an apocalyptic reset or two.
