So far the casting is great and it seems like all the actors have a solid grasp of the source material. Lan and Moiraine stand out in particular.
I'm only on the second episode so I can't say much more but from the dialogue and portrayal of the Two Rivers village to the climactic battle scene in the first episode I'm pretty sold so far.

Agreed on how gender binary enforcing the premise of the story is. And it will be interesting to see how they handle that baddie who was given a different sex in their reincarnated body.
