This is a really solid series, so I don't really understand its somewhat low IMDB score.

This show is well acted with great production value, and the story is set up with plenty of mystery for fans to theory craft, especially if you're familiar with the lore from the source material. It doesn't follow the lore to the letter, but it does a great job at taking liberties to fill in the gaps while presenting plenty of references and tie-ins to the source material.

Production and tone match the LOTR trilogy well, and I'm digging the younger Galadriel as a character.

I went in thinking it'd pretty average given the IMDB score, but the series so far has exceeded all my expectations.

Very good action sequences, very well paced, and very well acted. Not sure why people are grumpy about this film. It's a super solid action flick and worthy of a sequel.

This story is worth telling. And so beautifully told it is.

Korean and Chinese series can be especially adept at the slow-burn slice-of-life genre when they want to be, but this one has the touch of extra production quality, supreme acting, nuanced writing, and perfect pacing to make it stand out among even the great ones out there.

A masterpiece.
