So what are your main issues with the show so far?
Here is my short list:
1. MASSIVE focus shift. Because the show wanted to create some mystery around the identity of the Dragon Reborn, they put a lot more focus on other characters of the EF5. However, even AFTER his identity was discovered - they kept the focus away!
This was manifested in several way, but the worst in my opinion is the battle at the end. in the novels, that battle was Rand's first big reveal! a beacon of light destroying the shadow's army, showing himself to the Borderlanders' army.
Instead, this job was given to a random circle of women, who for some reason burnt out even though you're not supposed to suffer that in a circle. This felt forced, like "lets give the women more prominent roles", as if the whole season wasn't already full of women power.
2. The strange Ter'angreal portal. Need I say more? I don't care that they took the hints of lesbian romance from the novels and put them straight out there, that was actually ok. But what the heck was with that portal?! At first I thought, "maybe this is Tel'Aran'Rhiod", but no (unless they deliberately didn't to the small details changing thing).
3. Warders. Forget the missing cloaks and such - why are warders so... pathetic? What happened to emotionless stony faces? Why is Lan suddenly crying like that in a weird ceremony? That was just wrong on so many levels...
Those are my top complaints.
