I've read the books many years ago, so of course I'll reiterate what many have said, this is far from the books. Many details needlessly changed, and that hurt this series greatly. Game Of Thrones stayed remarkably close to the source material, all the way to the end of the published books, and was the largest show in the world for it. Wheel Of Time is a story that rivals Game Of Thrones, in my opinion surpasses it, so this could've been an outstanding show.
Having said that, I'll remove my feelings on that to give a honest take. If you're a fantasy fan you can watch this show and be slightly entertained. It's not good, but it's not all bad. The characters have some merit, the plot has some intrigue. The narrative is disjointed with poor timing but the cinematography is good. All in all I'd say skip this show, especially if you're a fan of the books. But if you just really like fantasy and magic, give it a shot.

First two season were some of the best TV I've ever watched. But it jumped the shark after the second.
I do not understand why DC cancelled this show. It is quite awesome.
