Someone said if you forget it’s LOTR and just treat it as its own thing it’s not half bad.
Basically. I don’t forget it’s LOTR but I do keep in mind it’s not the Peter Jackson trilogy nor a 1:1 from the books.
I was really really hoping it was going to be about the fall of Numenor.
It is, but it’s slow burn and a something of an overall B-plot to the titular Rings of Power in the second season and the creation of Mordor in the first.
The main online gripe that I can agree with how the characters “fast travel” as plot demands. I just accept that as necessary to condense things down to a suitable runtime for a TV series.
