I only read about 5 of these books because I thought Robert Jordan was "juicing" the story to keep it going as long as possible. I thought it was vastly inferior to Lord of the Rings in terms of themes and literary value.
I watched the first season, but had only vague memories of the book. And yeah, wasn't that impressed. Season two started off confusing, but has had some pretty darn good episodes. The costumes and sets are terrific.
