Another example to consider for the difficulty in adapting JRRT`s Second Age is the last season of the Game of Thrones. Even with George Martin around to consult the last season was a huge miss.

I couldn't get past the first episode of Wheel of Time. I'm still angry about the time I wasted reading the first several books. "Well, if I keep reading something will happen, right?"
The TV show is vastly better than the books on that account, as far as WoT is concerned. & my theory for why the end of GoT was so bad is that the show runners cut it short by two seasons to try to cash in on their fame—a form of Hobbit Syndrome…
I'll reconsider Amazon WoT then. My impression was HBO didn't want to pay for additional seasons of GoT plus the show runners didn't have the talent to finish the show without a book to rely on.
Yeah, still angry about the Hobbit movies too. At least I can watch the cartoon version
