Umm, I ended up liking it overall. I did think early on it seemed on the borderline of a made for network kind of series, but did get better in later episodes.
If you are a lore fan, where Peter Jackson's LOTR movies were even pushing the lore limits, then you will hate this. To say they took liberties with Tolkien's works is an understatement. But if not, probably worth a shot.
There is a bit of 'wokeness' as well (in regards to the lore), but didn't go that far with it for me to stop watching.
Overall I give it a 7/10 at best, though I won't argue with those with harsher criticism. For the most expensive show ever, it didn't come close to what one would expect when they spent 715 million so far on it.
I finished it this week. If there wasn’t a second season I wouldn’t be upset. I didn’t like how the Galadriel character was written or portrayed which affected my overall opinion.
I’ve watched the first two episodes of The Peripheral and it is so much better than LOTRs.
