I'm personally a huge fan of Lord of Chaos. It's always a high point when I re-read the series. I really like all of the subtle foreshadowing of what's coming up, all of the careful politics and groundwork that RJ laid for the latter half of the series, and then of course Dumai's Wells is such an incredible moment in the series.

Nobody seems to have posted here yet, so I'll start with some useful resources for readers and show watchers alike.

I personally think that TarValon.net's Library is the best Wheel of Time resource for people who are currently on their first read-through of the series. They have excellent chapter summaries for helping you remember what happened 5 books ago, and their chapter summaries are, in my experience, meticulously spoiler-free. They are very careful about marking spoilers on TV, and hiding them so that you don't accidentally find yourself reading them.

The Wheel of Time Wiki is generally well maintained and accurate, but be warned- it is extremely full of spoilers and spoilers are often not tagged and in introductory paragraphs of pages. I hate that it is indexed so high on google, because a lot of the search results for main characters immediately show end-of-series spoilers.

Brandon Sanderson is very active on Reddit, and sometimes talks about the Wheel of Time. His username is u/mistborn. Be warned, his comments contain spoilers for all of the Wheel of Time, as well as for all of his other currently released books. He interacts with fans quite a bit, and has some great discussions with them- but many of them are very full of spoilers.

For TV show news, The Wheel of Time Twitter Account is a good go-to. They may occasionally post mild book spoilers, but nothing serious. Rafe Judkins's twitter is also a good place for news.
