I’m not sure what some people are seeing — but this is an absolutely boring show… the rare action sequence is completely unbelievable. The dialogue is painful too often. The accents are cartoonish.the timeline continuity - what continuity— they just magically appear wherever they want throughout middle earth. All of the male elves have been reduced to feckless nobody’s so that Galadriel seems like a GOAT. Hobbits (harfoot) are really bad — they look like the bottom of a dumpster but somehow have perfectly glossy lips. The editing is jarring in some places and disruptive to the flow. The good thing is a couple of actors — the stand out is Sophia Nomvete as Disa — I wanted more scenes with her. I’ve been disappointed with her comments outside of the show, but I’ve got to give her credit. I don’t normally write reviews, but since Amazon is actively censoring critics, I feel it’s necessary to add my voice. There’s nothing worse than a thin skinned massive global company. They should focus on making a good show and then they would not have to worry about criticism.
