I watched the first two episodes and part of the third. Didn't capture my attention like I hoped it would but I may try again. Sometimes I have to be in a certain mood for certain genres.

Two episodes in and the rules of the magic system are not clear to me. As as reader/viewer, I prefer to get that up front, that way the outcome promises to follow logically. But that's just me as a hard sifi fan. Otherwise the Heros Journey template seems a little obvious.

I'm glad it's not only me. I've only watched about half of he first episode. Haven't been in the right mood.

I think you either like the characters, or you don't. I quite like them, and I feel we are getting to know them.
I'm not sure I'm a huge fan of the magic system, or the different factions such as the Whitecloaks, Aes Sedai, and Aiel. I just want to see Rand kick some Foresaken butt, but that will probably not happen until Season 100. The books are so slow!
