What most critics of this show do not understand is in Tolkien this story is literally like 30 pages. Most of the content we are seeing is completely organic. This is not Peter Jackson recreating 95% of The Lord of the Rings. I have felt every human emotion enjoying this show in an age of high quality content. To see Numenor as it is now with Isildur being a lad is also very satisfying to my mind's eye. I can't wait for the reason why their is no real mention of Gil Galad in the Lord of the Rings..
