00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:06.677
Does The Wheel of Time spin
too wildly for fans of the books?

00:00:06.677 --> 00:00:09.526
"The power inside you- all over 
the world there are different

00:00:09.526 --> 00:00:12.178
names for it. And women 
who can touch it,

00:00:12.178 --> 00:00:13.280
we protect the world."

00:00:13.280 --> 00:00:17.680
Well, think of it as a Game of
Thrones for younger teens.

00:00:17.680 --> 00:00:21.600
In this book-based fantasy series,
a magical police force begin an epic

00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:24.800
quest to find the person
prophesized to save their world.

00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:26.400
"The dark one is waking."

00:00:26.400 --> 00:00:30.400
As in many adaptations, the on-screen
thrills feel more intense than those

00:00:30.400 --> 00:00:31.280
on the page.

00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:35.280
Expect some big battle scenes,
creepy monsters, deadly magic,

00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:36.880
and a few gross-out moments.

00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:38.800
"They will leave no 
one standing."

00:00:38.800 --> 00:00:43.680
Racy stuff includes frequent, but
mostly non-sexual nudity, plus kissing,

00:00:43.680 --> 00:00:44.720
and crude language.

00:00:44.720 --> 00:00:46.474
"You fully lost your mind."

00:00:46.480 --> 00:00:50.080
That said, the series does a
good job showing a range of races,

00:00:50.080 --> 00:00:55.120
ethnicities, and body types, as well
as women in positions of power.

00:00:55.120 --> 00:00:59.840
Common Sense says The Wheel of
Time is OK for teens 14 and up.

00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:05.607
