During a time where Game of Thrones and The Sandman are getting awesome ratings why is this one being hit? One of my first impressions when first seeing this is how similar the beginning of this was to Wheel of Time which are both produced by Amazon. This show had bad dialogue and rip off ideas from other shows. I'm a big fantasy person, so when viewing this I couldn't help but role my eyes to all the rip off scenes they stole from other fantasy stories. It's a very unoriginal take and yet it also finds away to destroy great things about Lord of the Rings. First and foremost... the elves look terrible in this show. Not just visually but just the type of beings they are supposed to represent In this universe. If you were looking for mystic and wise, there is not a single elf in the entire show that fits this except or "my girl Galadriel." Why? Well they sacrificed the coolest race in this world to boost their main actress. Her bad acting as well as script suffers so bad that they needed her race of people to look so bad. They are incompetent, lazy, and cowardly.
It's been two hours and I've never seen a show where I literally walk away after the two episodes and don't feel any connection for any of the characters. Phony characters with phony personalities and a phony plot.
Phony Plot- the whole plot is hogwash. They had to make up an unbelievable plot to heighten "my girl Galadriel." Anyone claiming to be a fan of this show and saying this plot is plausible doesn't care and is lazy. I mean the concept of every victory of good over evil results in the same way because of a particular theme. So what is Galadriel actually doing then? Did they really think they could possibly eliminate the taint of Morgoth on middle earth? This was addressed in every movie. And even movies that were not created by Peter Jackson. In the Appendix it never claims to have eliminated the taint of Morgoth from Middle Earth. For decades fans have wondered what happens to orcs after a defeat... this show claims that the elves actually thought they killed every single one. The wisest of all races and the closest to the Gods appear to be the dumbest creatures.
This show is one word- A PERVERSION. It's not a good story, bad characters, lazy plot. The few lord of the rings felt like they were cut and pasted on the film. It just didn't fit and work well.
The carelessness of the show, shows no one really cares what they were doing with this. Anyone claiming they are lord of the rings fans and liking this show are sellouts. You had some people really hoping this show would work confess that it sucks. 8-10 score is unjust and disingenuous.
