LOTR and GOT were adapted for TV very successfully, even the characters were chosen to fit the story and both will be remembered as great fantasy shows. Unfortunately not is so with WOT. In making it woke for the times it has failed miserably. The writers have taken a masterpiece of Robert Jordan and destroyed it. After watching 6 episodes I will not watch anymore. I read the books as they came out and am in the process of binge reading the series for a second time. I expect the writing to be a little different to adapt it for TV but this has gone so far off the original it is no longer Jordan's work. Understanding the issue of saidin can only be male yet from the beginning they claimed the dragon could be female. That alone changes the narrative. Also they portray Siuan as being Gay in Episode 6 but she falls in love with an army general in book 9. These are only some of the problems with the TV series. I wonder if the writers have even read the books all the way through. Only a few match the character descriptions in the books. It is sad that people who have never read the books will have no idea of the true story. A big thumbs down for me!!!!

Great show. Did not notice the shaky camera till I read the reviews. Good acting and story line.
