Missing Maja Vrvilo
After the last two truly outstanding weeks of television offered to us by 'The Wheel of Time' S2 (which demonstrated its clear ability to genuinely become the next 'Game of Thrones'; a beautifully written & realised fantasy series - brimming with rich history & lore - capable of balancing emotional depth with creative ambition & scope), the programme returns with its penultimate episode of the season under a different director... And although it's not particularly bad, it's just not particularly good (in comparison to what it was, only 7 days ago) either - & thus, I did find that incredibly irksome. By all means, Sanaa Hamri is a competent filmmaker - but following on from someone who unequivocally elevated the quality so noticeably (I began to view Amazon's franchise as potentially superior to all other current rivals, in the same genre - including HBO's 'House of The Dragon'), only to struggle in maintaining that aforementioned improvement in the absence of Maja Vrvilo (arguably to the show what Alan Taylor & Miguel Sapochnik were to 'Game of Thrones'; rare visionaries who revivified the installments they were tasked with bringing to life, establishing themselves as immediate fan favourites amongst viewers in their opening blocks by ensuring a certain unparalleled brilliance throughout etc.)... Does lead to a somewhat disappointing viewing experience, when I'd began to hopefully expect something better than just "decency" in execution.
Hence, audiences are presented with satisfying developments, tying all the loose narrative threads together, building up to the finale... The way in which the numerous sequences do so is merely a little messier, unfortunately. Still, I'm excited for what's to come - simply wish someone arguably stronger was at the helm, to see it through to the end.
