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
not saying its bad but its weird that the harfoot (destined to become the English hobbits) are like, based on irish travelers? idk cause the english drove the travellers into their nomadism and colonized ireland yknow
nah it's definitely bad. It'd actually be good for the story to bring up why they're always in hiding and traveling. Have an england stand-in that scared them off or something.
With this said I fucking really like them whenever they're on screen lol
