So, is Wheel of Time more like Game of Thrones or The Lord of the Ring?
Definitely more like LOTR but it sort of started the pop fantasy shift into more uncharted territory.
The first book is an admitted ripoff in some ways of Fellowship of the Ring. The author has admitted frequently that he couldn't get it published without it seeming "familiar", at least in terms of narrative.
It definitely branches out greatly to become its own thing, with an absolutely huge, sprawling world that covers like 14 books.
It definitely has some really dark moments, but it never becomes as overtly violent (outside of a few scenes) or sexual as GOT.
For reference, George RR Martin needed blurbs from Robert Jordan in the first 3 GOT books in order to help them sell.

I'm curious to see where they go with all that in the series. There is tons of fighting, we see some torture but a lot of that is sort of magic torture so not as gruesome as GoT. I think you will get more of a horror vibe from a lot of the stuff (at least I hope so) and there is a lot of nudity given how certain races / nations interact, but I hope they don't try and sex it up by throwing random sex scenes in there for no reason.
