This show is a terrible representation of the book series. While it has many names of characters and places that exists within the book series, it does NOT stay anywhere true to the characters or the plot. Fatal flaws that the TV series’ writers and producers “added/changed” to primary characters of the book series utterly destroy the characters and change the plot of the book significantly. I am convinced that none of the TV series writers and producers even read the series. That or they utterly hated Robert Jordan’s books, and are hell bent to destroy it. I was thoroughly disappointed at this shotty attempt to bring a wonderful, brilliant, and wholesome book series to TV. In truth, I wish I could give this series negative five stars.
