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.

    Haven't got very far into it yet, but one thing I really enjoyed was Padan Fain showing all of his teeth every time he smiles. Both upper and lower rows. After the episode I tried in front of a mirror and I literally cannot show as many teeth while grimacing with all my strength as that actor can casually flash during a conversation. He actually manages a smile that I think would make most mammals uncomfortable. It's one thing to make his smile creep you or me out, but to manage a smile that would creep a cow out is impressive. That will work great for the role. Otherwise I thought it was pretty cluttered and clunky, but that's not exactly uncommon for first episodes, so I'll give it some time.
