I watched the first 3 episodes of season 2 this weekend.
It's an order of magnitude better than season 1.
Not entirely sure what all they changed between seasons, but it seems like there's a lot less greenscreen and more location filming. Everything feels more "real" if that makes sense. Everything is dirtier. More genuine. The stakes feel higher.
The dialogue is much better as well. Not nearly as cheesy or Star Wars'y if you know what I mean. The conversations feel more natural and the responses seem more authentic.
The entire tone is darker and feels more dangerous.

I agree with all of this.
It just sucks how poorly some of these folks were cast.
The red with the massive jawline is so ugly its distracting. Even my wife laughs/cringes when she's on screen. Its like they are forcing her full face in frame as much as possible.
I think the acting is good all around, for a bunch of homely british kids.
I was so confused at some scenes as I know they aren't from the books. I am going to reluctantly head over to Reddit to see what I can piece together.

I've watched the first 3. While I do agree that the production seems better from a technical perspective, I truly do not understand what they're trying to do with the plot. The writing and acting is passable, but I really think the main cast are doing worse than many of the minor characters.
The Perrin/Seanchan storyline isn't making much sense and feels like an afterthought within the story.
I do get why they changed Moiraine's story (because Pike has to get screen time), but her new story is not interesting at all.
