That being said, the fourth book is also widely considered one of, if not the, best book of the entire series, and despite the third season being for the most part based on it, the show’s ratings were getting lower and lower, so the cancellation made sense.

I hadn't been following the critical reception or the viewer ratings, so I appreciate you sharing this with me and I agree it the story gets much worse before the Sanderson stuff brings it to a great ending.

I have read some good reviews of the last season, but I haven’t watched it to confirm them. I was left so disappointed by the first season that I never watched anything past that. I could’ve lived with the (pretty much mandatory, considering the books’ size) cuts for pacing, and I could’ve been fine with some of the original stuff they threw in, but the entire show just felt cheap. Like, '90s Young Hercules cheap. And not in a good way.

I had the exact same reaction! I watched first 2 or 3 episodes and was turned off by it thinking I might come back to it when it gets complete if folks reporting it improving.
