Respectfully to all the Haters. Im currently on episode 5 and so far the show has surprised me do to all the hate I've read about. I have a completely different view and this is someone who as a child I watched the lord of the rings movie time and time again im a huge fan of the series to the point it was the first books I read growing up.
I read a review that someone said the graphics are like a CW show that was rushed out for the quick dollar. To that note the visuals are outstanding, the cities they portrait look amazing, the makeup done on the orcs is pretty good as well. The only thing I can say they could of made better was the first worg you see looks a little cartoonish almost like one of the hyenas from the original lion king.
Another review stated the acting was terrible. I havnt yet been annoyed by any of the actors so far in the show. There has yet to be 1 character like most shows where your like I cant wait for this character to die because the actor is terrible. I've felt like I've been watching a move this entire time so far.
Last review I'll reply to. Hearing the show is sexist, and or racist. Where? I can see maybe someone thinking 1 girl elf taking on 5 men and winning, that would never happen. Listen elves are very old some thousands of years those men were maybe in there 20s possibly even teens, experience is everything in that case. Besides that specific scene which wasn't sexist, I've havnt seen anything that would be considered racist or sexist. I can go on and say a few more things but I'll keep it at that.
All in all the negative reviews I've read are in my opinion are off course. The show is in fact good the lore yes might be a little off but it's a show, no book and movie are every that close to each other because of how much you can fit in a book considered to a show. People need to get over the fact that every show and movie is going to be different if it's based off a book no ones making you watch it, if you go in with a blank mind you will be like "oh man that was cool" for the people who read the books and recognize the names of characters you will be saying " that's the guy no way".
The show is exciting and definitely able to be watched by all, there is minor blood so far ( least to me) amd there has been 0 nudity which is absolutely fine. Were at the point where they throw in so much unnecessary nudity in shows for no reason. Just because game of thrones was so successful doesn't mean that's what made it successful.
Any ways didn't mean to rabble on, shows good and I would recommend it based off the first 5 episodes I've watched thus far. Go in without thinking of the negative reviews and you might actually be surprised like me and my family were.
