The first few episodes being incredibly slow aside, this show captures Tolkiens magic and world very well. Not perfectly, as some of the choices for very important things have already been changed. Galadriels character is an odd choice but one i dont think is world breaking. The hate the show is receiving is vastly unwaranted as most people made up their minds far before it came out, and those complaining about "lore accuracy" dont even know the lore well enough to complain. Its clear that the love for the show is way more than the hate, as this show seems to be going on the right path. Great watch, was a lot of fun to be back in middle earth and all its grandness
