I have read, and re-read, all of these books. I awaited and watched the first season thinking it would be amazing like Tolkein. The story thus far, when people are to decide if they will watch, is NOT Robert Jordan's plot. When Moraine and Siuane became lovers it obviously shot wide. I understand there are a lot of books to include. There should not be major plot changes like this, however.i have watched similar large undertakings, think LOTR, that spent the same but gave much more.
