I watched the first three episodes with my partner and daughter.

Neither has read any of the books, where as I have read the whole series several times.

Both are interested in fantasy and sci fi as well.

To be honest, neither of them was impressed.

The main issues were the dialogue and writing/story having no real flow. To them it seemed too edited and the characters conversations "choppy" and incomplete. The friendship between Rand/Perrin/Mat/Egwene seems disingenuous for supposedly close knit group. 

They said there were some great scenes that set the story and the scenery was well done but it appears to be a poor mans GoT.

They more than likely won't commit to watching it, but will likely sneak a glance or two as I do and ask a lot of questions.

Best thing about this series so far, is that it makes me want to dig the books out again.
