So I watched the first two episode with my wife. I haven't read the book in 20 years and my wife hasn't read the books in 30 years, but I do remembers parts....
Thoughts:
1: The filming location of Czech Republic is great and looks like the original book covers.
2: The acting is in general, subpar. Some of the actors seem very CW.
3: The CGI is 10 years behind its time..... sad.
4: So much less bickering, whining, and arrogance. Hurrah!
5: The characters are less likable than in the books, this is probably due to the acting.
6: GW was influenced by Jordan. The show seems to have take some of GW choices back.
7: The series ( and Jordan) is heavily influenced by LOTR.
8: The show is okay, but it is not epic or must watch TV.
