As a Tolkien world fan who has read his books times, to me, it does not feel like middle earth at all. It reminds me more of Narnia or even the witcher! The chosen actors are really unappropriated for their roles and their characteristics have changed a lot compared to the book. The illustrations do not feel like what I read in books and as a Tolkien fan, I can not accept it as a series representing middle earth. The books had details enough to illustrate and it did not need this much change and going away from the book and story and involving the modern world policy in the show! From my point of view, in the best way, It is fanfiction of middle earth and does not deserve to be titled with a masterpiece name like the lord of the rings!
I had been waiting for a show of this amazing world almost for a decade as there were rumours about it. but I feel really disappointed now that all that hope was just a ruined illusion.
