What TV show were you highly excited for, but ended up quickly disappointing you? (lemm.ee)

Wheel of Time.

Latest season has been a massive improvement if you haven’t watched it.

Maybe in the future.

I'm kind of burned out in high fantasy TV for a while. Thanks for the info, though.

Try something completely different.

"Slow Horses" is about MI-5's worst agents. Those who have screwed up in the field are sent to work on low priority garbage work until they retire or quit. Takes about one and a half episodes to hit its stride.

"Landman" is about a Texas oilman whose job is to manage everything from the drilling to getting the product to market. Billy Bob Thornton is a great anti-hero; divorced, alcoholic, in debt, and smarter than everyone else for all the good it does him.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Slow horses is great.

Seconded. It was just such an enormous pile of shit from the first episode.

Edit: felt like it was worth mentioning that I've read all the books multiple times, and love them. I just hate what they did to the characters.
