Several years ago there was a man who was known as Dragon and he wielded so many magical powers that he broke the world and now a curse has been cast that has the capability to drive any person who uses magic can get hopelessly mad.
This Dragon has been prophesized to return and can either destroy or save the world and it is up to Moiraine to find out the new Dragon and do whatever must be done. The only problem is that Moiraine doesn’t have any clue about that who this new dragon is. The only best she can do is narrow it down to a group of 20-year-olds in a small town and among them, the three were men, so that is probably not so good.
The series is set in an intriguing world of monsters and magic. While watching the series you will find yourself lost in the world of Dragon. When Moiraine realizes that she has finally found that the Dragon Reborn. Then, in a small town, she finds some five youngsters and among them; she believes that one of them is chosen one. Then it is followed by opposing sides, multiple warring factions, and seedy characters, each having their own intentions to utilize the dragon, to steal their powers or to kill them, and so on.
Only the three episodes are out now and the remaining are yet to be released. The series, The Wheel of Time, has everything going for it, on paper. The series has it all from a strong cast, lavish sets, fantastical world, and mature themes to the lush costumes and Rosamund Pike in the lead. But there is a little absence of coherent, engaging storytelling to bind all these things together. Also, there is a terrible pilot episode in the series. The series is great to explore and has the capability of taking you to another world of fantasy.
The plot of the series revolves around the five characters whose lives are ripped away from them overnight, as they are compelled on a journey to discover the destiny they never asked for. The three episodes that are out now are good to explore if you are a fantasy lover. So, go and lose yourself in the fantasy world with The Wheel of Time.
