I only just started, but for all my previous hesitation, so far I'm fairly pleased. It isn't comparable with the original movie trilogy, but as a show it's entertaining and hasn't put me off yet.
Some people asked if I had watched it before, and now I have, somewhat. Galadriel's characterization (and both actresses playing her) have carried the role well. It's nice to have a story where not everyone left alive is a smirking sociopath, but that's just my subjective preference there.
It may yet disappoint me, but so far so good. The halfling predecessors were my favorite worldbuilding feature so far.
:what-the-hell:
In the story where the characters don't have the privilege of knowing the stories that come after them, their reluctance and hesitation to go hunting a few centuries longer for Sauron seems reasonable to me. I think the self-described "TechnoKing" doth protest too much.
Yeah, she's been searching for Sauron at least 400 years longer than the actual war took. The other elves are right.
