I'm going to watch it, but I don't have high hopes being that it's a
modern adaptation.
I also still don't like the casting especially Moiraine who in the books
is probably in her 40's and Rosamund Pike is 42 but an Aes Sedai isn't >supposed to look her age. Rosamund Pike in the trailer certainly doesn't
look "ageless".

about that in particular - they decided that 'ageless' wasn't something
they were going to attempt to mimic.

It seems like they won't be attempting to mimic much at all....
Matrim as a petty thief? What else can they screw up?
Brandon Sanderson is a producer on the show. He should have had more
respect for the source material.
Or maybe he considers the show is better for the changes, either because it makes for less annoying characters (Rand: “Mat knows women.”, Mat: “Perrin
knows women.”, Perrin: “Rand knows women.”, sigh), or more suited for television (introducing characters more progressively).
No source material is perfect, and even if it were, it would not transpose
as is on another medium.

Didn't Matrim steal some pies from the Winespring inn?
A pie is a childhood prank. Jewelery is far different.
