The least they could do was to rope in half decent actors for the lead roles . Except for the cast of Perrin , all the others seem to be first graders in acting department with expressions that are too artificial. The actor who dons the role of Egwene is such a torment to watch !! That role doesnt suit her period. Being a huge fan of the original novel it is very disappointing .Had stopped watching after Season 1 Ep. 2 last year but came to watch the series thinking if I ignore the bad acting it would be tolerable. But alas... it is torture. Wish they could atleast change the Egwene character.
