Some of the chronology is very different, but I don't think that is a deal breaker. I have seen some articles discussing 'major new characters' who will appear in season 2 - Ingtar and Uno. There was a third but I forget who he was. As we have yet to see some genuinely major players I do hope they haven't decided to go very far off track.

D2metres apart air hug 4 Christmas
I'm not sure if its my ears but I'm finding some of the dialogue difficult to hear and the music a bit loud... I sound like an old person!! 
Still got a little catching up to do and its such a long time since I read the first books... 30 years?! that I'm not sure how far off the original its going. Maybe this is the best way to watch and I wont be questioning the story line just enjoying it. I've watched the first three am I right that there is a new one every week?

Yes, D2, there are now 6 available with a new episode available each Friday. 8 in total.
You - old? Never. You charge around with your pet wolf hauling trees about the place.

I haven’t read the books but I’ve just caught up with episode 6.
I’m giving it a 6/10 so far. It’s alright but I don’t know where it’s going and maybe knowing that helps to connect to it a bit more.
Still, I’m going to stick with it and see where it takes us.

I'm giving it way less maybe 3/4, too rushed. No character building and pointless additions / variations from the books.
I really don't get why they changed the Rand/Egwene or the Moraine/Suian relations. It doesn't add to the story in anyway I can see, especially if they are keeping it PG

They didn't want the show to be Young Adult, so had to "age up" the characters. So Rand/Egwene's relationship is more developed and Perrin was married. As for Moiraine/Siuan, it's a fairly straightforward way of making the show a bit more modern than the books.
I think the adaptation is pretty good, not many changes have grated too much (not nearly as much as the Foundation adaptation on Apple TV) and it seems to essentially stay true to the books. It also seems to have improved through the series, so let's hope that continues.

Foundation was more "inspired by" than "based on" or "adapted from", Llamadance. It's not terrible but it's not Foundation.
