I have watched all the episodes so far, and while there have been some changes I wasn't a fan of, I am loving the show overall.
This book series is so vast, and the fantasy world so rich, that it is almost an impossible task to translate it truly to a different medium like screen.
Even though they were only given 8 episodes to pack a first season into they have done an amazing job filling the episodes with different important details.
I have been doing episode by episode commentary on my Twitter account and have been keeping track of all the little details that stood out to me along the way, such as the various times when we see Dragon's fangs, the first mention of the Forsaken, the little girl and her Birgitte doll, little hints about the Seanchan arriving, Rand picking up the Karaethon Cycle, Rand's first view of Dragonmount, the first time we see an Aielman, and so on.
I have watched each episode twice so far except for the latest one, and I pick up new details with each new viewing.
Yes, there are some changes that have left me feeling a little flat, but overall I am hooked and can't wait to see how the rest of the series pans out.
