Every scene is just cringey. The writers are trying so hard to sound profound but it's comes off as some D&D dungeon masters script. They've skipped thousands of years of the 2nd age and changed things that simply didn't need to be changed. Lotta people trying to defend the show under "creative licensing" but nothing about it is original or creative. How about making khamûl the easterling your main character and explore that region of Middle earth? Very little is written about him so they could do what they want. That's just 1 / 100 characters that could be adapted. As for all the "racism" the harradrim are supposed to be a mix of African and Middle Eastern countries and the easterlings are meant to be a mix of Asia....so where are they in the show? Instead you get one colored elf in an entire village of white people...and this show is being praised for its diversity? Anyone that actively defends this show is part of the problem. The quality of entertainment is decreasing to increase profit, they recycle the same old rubbish and then when fans complain they call you toxic or racist and ignore the genuine criticism. Stop defending mega corporations they have enough money to do it themselves. Nothing will improve if fake praise is all they hear.
