This is a heinous abomination, a desecration of Tolkien's vision, and an insult to his work. Even if one ignores the fact that this show is supposed to be based on Tolkien's Legendarium and judges it as a stand-alone show, it is mediocre at best.

What is this supposed to be? Superficially, it looks like Tolkien's work but for me, that's where the similarities end. Visually this is an impressive series.There are some genuinely talented actors in the cast, too. That said, Tolkien's work is, in every respect that truly matter's, absent. Really that's because this isn't Tolkien. Its a pretty but ultimately hollow,facsimile. Largely absent is the underlying message about courage,the battle between good and evil and the endless horror of war. What we have instead, to my mind, is a rudderless, unsurprisingly slow show, that seems intent on pushing messages of social justice. All of which, is, of course, no substitute for a compelling story of the kind found in Tolkien's heartfelt epic work.

I think so far the show is wonderful. visually the is clearly the best look Tv show ever created, from the crisp resolution to the colorful, elaborate and beautiful scenery, and the great HDR colors. Man I love watching this show so far. Story so far. There is a lot of world building. Im not a Tolkien nerd so I'm not sure where this story is going, but I'm enjoying it so far.
