LOVE this show. I was an LOTR fan with the original versions back in the day. I used to stand in line for hours when the new movie was coming out. It was a whole thing! But my enthusiasm for the series has never been this strong and I 100% realize it’s because I now see characters that look like my friends, family and neighbors. It’s amazing and I welcome more of it! Inclusive stories of fantasy, in particular, are few so BIG kudos to the team championing this show being as brilliant as it is in every aspect. Bring on the Emmy nods!
