Love the show so far - don’t mind the creative liberties taken given it’s not even based on books. Great casting , fantastic CGI without overdoing it (unlike Hobbit trilogy) , beautiful rendering of locations / worlds that we had only dreamt about in later LOTR books (Numenor, KazadDum for example). Many reviewers want faster pacing , I am actually with time taking to develop environments more fully as with 5+ seasons we’ll get to big battles and actions scenes fast enough. Galadriel could be a bit more acting with elvish aloofness and high level strategic wisdom then occasional “human style” petulance and emotions but no show stopper. Keep it up - the big budget is producing stunningly good looking TV series thus far BM

Very interesting adaptation so far - I have read all books but it’s been a while especially since first 3-4 books. I like the diverse character casting and gradual character development - some creatives liberties TV series makers have taken are a bit jarring for faithful fans but make them also fresh and different …. All in all very happy thus far fingers crossed and hoping for many new fans to make it worthwhile for Amazon to finance 20+ seasons 😇
