Or, 3 episodes isn't enough to tell a story.

Three episodes is plenty to lose your audience due to confusion and frustration at a non-sensical narrative. It's an epic, but it's still plenty of time to set the tone, major characters, major themes, and major conflicts if you were trying to do something other than ram a story through cagey producers. Which I admit, Amazon is infected with.

My point is that I want to see this movie succeed, but after forcing myself through four seasons of the very excruciating Expanse, waiting for it to get better, I'm starting to get the same vibe already with Wheel of Time.
