Stay away if you read the books. The characters have the same names, but that is the only similarity to the incredible saga that Robert Jordan gave us. Seriously. I have seen some adaptations that fall short, but none as badly as this embarrassment. Perrin with a sword? Moiraine and Suian, lovers? And don't get me started on the re-creation of Mat Cauthon as overwhelmed with depression, and Lan being self-admittedly and emotionally dependent on anyone. And storylines that have have absolutely nothing to do with the original. So very disappointing. Granted, I couldn't get past Episode 2 of the second season. And maybe they turn it all around, and get back to what makes this story so entertaining and enthralling when read. But I'm not going to bother finding out. Just not worth any more of my time.
