Excuse me what? The show is good?? I quit watching during the first episode. Or am I misunderstanding something here?

So you watched one episode and stopped? Did you watch only the first hour of the first movie?

No, because the movie didn’t immediately turn me off with an insane plot, crappy dialog, boring, unbelievable characters, just all in all bad writing, terrible costumes… I don’t even know where to start. But to each his own I guess. To me the movies and the series are completely different in quality. But maybe that’s just me.

You got all that when you didn’t even finish the first episode? Damn, you are a tough audience.

I thought the show was pretty decent. It wasn’t literally perfect, but it was entertaining and beautifully shot. Some of the acting was kinda underwhelming, but some others did a great job IMO.

Especially Morfydd Clark, Joseph Mawle, and Ismael Cruz Córdova as Galadriel, Adar, and Arondir, respectively. Sophia Nomvete as Disa gave one of my favorite performances yet of a Dwarven character, and I enjoyed her scenes immensely.

I’ll probably rewatch that show more often than I will the Hobbit movies, which makes it a solid entry by my reckoning, and it’s okay that it wasn’t perfect.

Dude, if someone’s opening pitch sucks then they have failed as a creative. That’s a skill issue and indicates that the rest of the work sucks.

You should only need to watch the opening to the LOTR movies to gauge if you’ll like it or not.

That’s a five minute investment before you continue watching a 9+ hour work.
