My family is loving watching this show every Friday night together. We watched the original LOTR and the Hobbit together for the first time recently and it’s so nice to be able to go back to the beginning and try to figure out together how everyone/ everything in this show fits into the originals! I’ve seen reviews that completely trash this show which I think is unfair. Is it perfectly made to fit into Tolkiens vision? Maybe not, time will tell with this storyline but you have to look at it for what it is, which is fan fiction! I personally love having another LOTR show to enjoy with my family!
