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.

    It's alright so far. I do wish they'd explain lorewise how a single village of people living in the dirt is so diverse though. Headcanoning it as a refugee village

    At least with dwarves it can be explained as the whole 'made of stone' thing, also they're cowards for not giving the women huge beards cause in the lore it describes dwarven genders as nearly indistinguishable
