They were almost really good, but so obviously fake, and at times really bad. I liked the look of them - they were more fearsome than I remember from the books, although its been decades - but their movements looked like 20-year old CGI. Isn't this supposed to be super high budget? Hopefully they'll be polished up over the next season or two.In fact, that's my feeling of the first episode (haven't seen the other two yet): Shows some promise, but is also quite lacking. As some have mentioned, it splits the difference between the awful Shannara (Xena-esque without the charm ) and GoT. If it is starting that way, maybe it will improve.But yeah, part of the problem is the casting. Rand is dull, and very much seems like another Hayden Christiansen. Mat was probably the best of the group. Nynaeve was solid, Perrin and Egwene OK. Rosamund Pike was good, as expected. Lan was OK.All that said, I mostly enjoyed it and my daughters (13 and 16) really liked it, so it is something to watch with them.</blockquote>
