With a canvas this large and a cast of characters this multitudinous, there’s a sort of Where’s Waldo in Westeros? effect at work when watching The Wheel of Time. At a glance, or even after a lengthy look, the sheer volume of stuff going on can be overwhelming. That’s why it pays to look for the fun little details, the same way cartoonist Martin Handford’s picture-book puzzlers stuffed every two-page spread full of wacky characters and memorable little moments to entertain you while your eyes hunted down that red-and-white-striped shirt and hat.
I reviewed the most recent episode of The Wheel of Time for Vulture.
