So far, I think I see why they've made the changes from the books that they have, and I'm fine with those. Looking forward to the next episodes and hopefully seeing the show all the way to the Last Battle," while another added: "As someone who has been living with these books as a HUGE part of my life for 30 years, I can say in all honesty... I love it. I love them. I understand the changes. I'm invested. I want more."

While most viewers are enjoying the differences in the series, a few have taken an issue with it. One person tweeted: "Two episodes into #TheWheelOfTime and I’m sadly not enjoying it. There are too many unnecessary and huge changes from the books that I do not like. Especially the dynamic between Lan and Moiraine. In the book, she’s the one who urges to go to Shadar Logoth and not Lan who cautions."
Viewers praised the first three episodes
Many viewers also took to social media to comment on the show’s casting and incredible performances. One person wrote: "Just finished watching the first three episodes of #TheWheelOfTime and I’m really enjoying it. Really digging the story, the world-building and the characters. Rosamund Pike’s performance is great. And I’m excited to see where it goes throughout this season," while another added: "The casting is absolutely incredible. It’s impossible for me to pick a favourite casting/character but Padan Fain is definitely up there. Johann Myers is so sinister in his grin alone. I can’t wait to see what @rafejudkins has in store for us!"
A third person tweeted: "Watched the first two episodes of The Wheel of Time. Serious high fantasy and diverse cast. I’m most attracted to the pragmatic caretaker characters Moiraine, Lan, and Nynaeve. Will keep watching!"
