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.
It seems like they have very selective memory about the books.
Obviously the strict gender divide is kinda problematic from a modern lens (i am interested to see if they deal with this in the show, especially considering some specific events later in the books), but it has a very feminist lens for it's time, and how anyone could read that, then watch the show and say it's too "feminist" is beyond me.
