They need to hook me with Galadriel plot....because I already know how it ends.People complained that the Hobbit felt like too much filler…Jesus this show makes that look like a sprint to the finish line.
I can say - this show is probably the most beautiful every put on TV, but this story is so drawn out I’m losing interest and I love Lord of the Rings. Also, none of the main plot lines (save for maybe Galadriel and Elrond) are grabbing me.
So i'm someone who has little interest in this franchise. Never seen any of the movies let alone am I familiar in any way with the books. I know this is a different LotR, so I can just jump right in here. The mixed reviews have sort of just kept me away so far, however I guess not seeing any other LotR project, maybe that won't matter much for me.
I’d argue while it does stand on its own - the show is literally only for diehard fans of the lore. It’s so detail oriented with little propulsion to the story.So i'm someone who has little interest in this franchise. Never seen any of the movies let alone am I familiar in any way with the books.

some fans of the books are pretty angry about the changes.Don’t sleep on S2. Genuinely mean this.
It improves upon what you want of S1, and while it does tread slightly to some of the falling backs of S1; everything else in comparison riproars to action.

but me, personally, I love season 2 ( I really liked season 1 too) I really love everything with the elves. I love Galadriel. I really love the stuff with the orcs.
I really love him too. it's really good. love what the actor is doing.as someone who lived with someone who loved the books, they honestly loved the changes as they thought it made sense in service of making the show better.
Genuinely adore everything they're doing with Sauron.
