The Wheel of Time Season 2 Ep 7 is the seventh chapter (and penultimate episode) of the second season of an American high fantasy television series developed by Rafe Judkins for Amazon Prime Video. The series is based on the novel series of the same name by Robert Jordan with Brandon Sanderson.

Invasion Season 2 Ep 6 (Analysis)

Invasion Season 2 Ep 6 is the sixteenth chapter of an American science fiction television series created by Simon Kinberg and David Weil. As stated in our analysis of Season 1, “the series features a high concept premise but fails miserably in terms of plot and characterisation – poor execution truly let down the intriguing premise.” Essentially, that intriguing premise involves an alien invasion seen through the different perspectives of various people on different continents across the world. However, despite this, the series was renewed for a second season and so here we are.

Foundation Season 2

Foundation Season 2 is the second season of an American science fiction epic streaming drama based on the classic novel series written by Isaac Asimov. Asimov developed high concepts regarding the decline and fall of empires and civilisations in his Foundation series of novels (number seven in total). The first season was a narrative mess and there were problems with the pacing, the casting and the overwhelming reach of the concept. Thus, it was surprising when AppleTV+ announced that the series had been renewed.
