Worth remembering that some of season 1's problems (not all of them...not by a long shot, but some of the ones that stuck in many viewers' minds) were out of the showrunners' hands, as they had to adapt to filming during COVID, which had multiple problematic effects of not being able to spend the time doing more rounds of feedback and revision (for example, we know Sanderson reviewed and gave feedback on earlier episodes, but was unable to do it for the last few because of the changed production timeframes) and also have reducing how many characters they could have on screen at once. They also lost access to Mat's actor suddenly, after he quit (allegedly for family and/or mental health reasons).
