The Wheel of Time S3E4- opinion about the The Drilling of the Bore

The fourth episode of The Wheel of Time series. I really liked it for its depiction of how Rand sees the lives of his ancestors reversed. However, I have some doubts about the moment in which the Dark One is released, as if it were a glitch in reality. But from what I know of the lore, this moment wasn't a total catastrophe as depicted. The contamination of the Dark One and the collapse occurred gradually over several decades, attracting the most powerful Aes Sedai. I always imagined that the drilling had a lesser immediate impact and was even hidden for a time.

What do you think of this depiction? I still loved this episode because it was more faithful to the books.
