I'm only on book 3 of WoT but decided to check out the first few episodes of the show anyways -- I think some of the changes were wild and out of left field and some were very reasonable. Like skipping the first few towns of the journey makes sense, and introducing Tom at a slightly later point cause he's kinda useless before that.

I did stop watching and had an existential crisis when they showed Waygates just being basically Minecraft Nether Portals haha Oh and channeling looks SO GOOFY in the show!
