I said this before and I will say it again: Forgetting this is supposed to be WoT it is an ok'ish show at best, but that might be enough to get decent numbers. If I keep in mind this is supposed to be the main WoT storyline, I find this an abomination. And no, not because of any of the added diversity. Yes, that is not faithful to the books but that's just nitpicking at unimportant stuff when they are fucking butchering the world, the story and the main characters.
Hell, Rafe has basically admitted they are not doing the WoT story at all. One of the reasons he stated at the time was that they cast Rosamund Pike, then realised her character was absent for pretty long swats in the books. Oops we can't bench one of our big names that is supposed to be a draw to the show. It just shows that even Rafe himself doesn't trust the story he is trying to tell to be compelling enough for people to come back for more.
It gets even worse for some other changes, the reason stated for why they added the entire suicidal warder part was "Because we obviously had to"... No, you really did not.
