This was absolutely horrible. In order of severity, here are the offenses, ranked:
1. What they did to Abell Cauthon
2. What they did to Perrin’s backstory
3. Mat’s character change. Way darker and morally questionable than he should have been. Stealing????
4. The overall tone. Hideous.
5. This should be number one. The modern tendency towards oversimplification and bland dialogue. My wife, who has not read the books, hated it as a new guest simply because it was so poorly made and acted. With no preconceptions, she was turned off by the sophomoric tone and quasi-British accents that constitute acting nowadays.
What a massive disappointment. I wish I could say I was surprised.
