Season 2 has 87% and 82% from the critics and audience respectively. Maybe, just maybe, you plebs can’t separate your love of the books from the show that’s deviated a lot from the source material. That can’t be influencing your view of the show at all

I'd be curious as to the amount of viewers for season 2.

I powered through the first season and looked at the first couple of this season, as a non-reader. But I haven't come back yet.

I suspect there's a lot of folks who just gave up after season 1, and if the production standards have been raised, then those who are still watching (who liked it enough to give it more of a chance), are rating it higher due to that.

It HAS to have improved somewhat. Season 1 was on a par with Xena or Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, but without anyone with the charisma of Kevin Sorbo or Lucy Lawless, let alone the occasional Bruce Campbell appearances. Plus, at least Herc had some babes on the show, WoT hasn't had any eye candy.
If you're not going to be deep, then at least give us something to look at.
