I just finished the first 3 as well, was prepared for the departures from the books and overall enjoyed it quite a lot.

Loved:
Scenery
Trollocs
Fade (can't wait for shadow teleporting, etc)
Actors did a good job all around I thought
Dream sequences / forsaken
Shadar Logoth / Mashadar

Obviously I wish they had made a scene by scene recreation of the books - but that would require probably 10x the amount of episodes. I'm guessing the character origin story changes they've done and the cuts they've made were due to having to rush to get things moving and split everyone up. I hope they are able to slow down some and really hope that they stay true to the major storylines.

I want to see more. I've read the books multiple times (started with the first when I was 10) and despite the changes it was great to see the overall story from the book finally getting a AAA type production

Pretty much all this. I thought it worked really well in spite of the obvious issues with pacing and having to rush through things with only 8 episodes. Kind of an underrated point to remember since GOT early seasons had 10 each.

Ended strong with ep 3 which I probably enjoyed the most.

Nynaeve, Rand and Egwene were all on point character-wise.

Perrin and the wife thing actually worked ok, it adds to his push/pull relationship with violence.

Will have much more to say later.
