They've got the vibe right, which is all that matters to me. Feels like middle earth.
I'm a casual in the lore, I have the silmarillion but i use it to just look up shit in the movies while theyre namedropping stuff i dont know the context of. So I can't really vouch for how well they've kept everything intact, but it seems solid from my light knowledge.
But, yeah, it's got the vibe and if you like the way middle earth feels then I recommend the show.
Was not expecting to like it, but here we are
I am a supercasual but here are my thoughts: at the beginning I expected to like Galadriel and not Elrond but now I like Elrond and not Galadriel
Happened to me too. The sharp angles on the guy that plays elrond's face were fucking me up for about 10 minutes as well
