Is there any chance in hell that this could be good?

I'm expecting it to be bad. Don't think WoT will translate well to television.

I'm not familiar with the books, but going by the premise, i'll give it a try. It sounds interesting, and Amazon has started to prove they can create some quality original shows.

Hasnt it been official for a while? Im not expecting much. It has a lot more magic than ASoIaF and is way longer (though a lot can be cut). I dont recognize any of the actors except for Moiraine, and Sean Bean and Dinklage were much bigger names. And theres been talk of modernizing it and making lots of changes.

Yeah it was reported a while back, this past week they are announcing the cast members and whatnot so it's been in headlines again.

Amazon already is doing a Lord of the Rings series. Can they sustain two high fantasy shows?

As long as the series is so much of it is descriptions that will be shown rather than told that an adaptation isn't nearly as daunting as the page count of the series might make it look.

That and books 8 through like 11 can be heavily compressed. Jordan was in full-slog mode for those books and everything dragged forever.
