I don't know what all the "true Tolkien fans" are on about...this show is incredible.
I've loved the story of The Lord of the Rings my entire life. Peter Jackson's trilogy are in my top 10 favorite movies of all time. Rings of Power brings me right back to that world Jackson introduced me to.
It seems like this show gets way too much hate! Nitpicking, not meeting peoples exact expectations(even though they refuse to watch it).
Each episode I'm finding myself enjoying it more and more with episode 6 inspiring me to put some positivity out in cyberspace about it.
I love the show, the sets, the costumes, the actors, the new characters. Above all I love being back in Middle-Earth, exploring the 2nd Age and all its wonders.
