Been looking forward to this show for years and I am not disappointed. The visuals and atmosphere are stellar. The cast is great( if you're bent out of shape because Disa has no beard or there is now a black elf I don't know what to tell you, no biggie to me.) The timeline being condensed took a second and a quick refresh on the LotR appendices but with more eps I feel that will be ironed out. There are a lot of characters but I like seeing different viewpoints of the world. Overall, the four stars is accurate IMO, good heading toward great but not perfect. Give it time to get it's feet under it and I think the show will grow and do well.
