There are definite changes. None of the main characters were married at the start. The romance between Rand and Egwene was much more innocent.
Moraine did not make herself known as Aes Sedai at the start, nor was she injured in the battle. The ferryman didn't jump in the river. Nynaeve left the village very differently. There was no sign of the red Ajah so early in the story. I think there has been a gender switch of the innkeeper at the mining village.
It is massively better than the Hobbit!

D2, I suspect it is better for fans as we know a lot of the background. It does take time for people who haven't read the books to get up to speed.
My wife did comment that it derives heavily from LOTR, which is undeniable for the first book.

Overall I liked it. The weaves were great, the length of time it took to create said weaves was laughable, heard someone say they did not care for RPs interpretative dancing 🤣 I'm a massive Jordan fan so I'd watch anyway...

In my opinion it was too rushed, they tried to bring in many elements all at the same time.
They should have kept it slow and relied on the fan base from the books and maybe dropped more but shorter eps in one go.
Dragon reborn wasn't mentioned in the books for a lot longer, which created the what / why that generated the interest to read....

Also can't see the point of implying intimacy different from the book unless you are going to show it (ie GoT tv series with the random nudity :-))

I read that Rafe Judkins wanted 10 episodes with a 2hr intro but was pushed to 8 which explains it feeling rushed. The bonus content is excellent, love the animation.

I enjoyed episode 4. There is character and world building, with further changes from the books to facilitate those. There are definite nudges towards who is the Dragon, I am hoping they don't go very off track and pick someone different!
