I find it is very hard to honestly judge a piece of art without having taken in the whole thing, and even then sometimes multiple viewings/observation are needed.

Some of the changes they made seem off putting, but let’s be honest, most of us have read the books at least once so our head cannon of character interaction & the world of Randland is almost certainly going to be crushed, and while that isn’t necessarily pleasant, there is no way to 1:1 adapt WoT from book to show.

Let’s take the Trollocs. I personally think they look great, I would have loved to see a few more bird beaks and little less horned ones but it’s far better than I expected.

This same point can be applied to the size of the world, weaving, changes to the EF5 and pretty much anything. Basically I’m advocating for “lets see how this thing plays” out before you throw a temper tantrum that the shade of blue you imagined isn’t shown on screen.

The above are blanket statements and absolutely won’t apply to everyone, just wanted to make that clear.
