This is not a bad Tolkien show, it's just a bad show. Terrible writing, as in seriously, show this thing in schools to illustrate how to not tell a story and write dialogues.
Nobody would care about this thing if it didn't have the LOTR name.
This is not a Tolkien show. This is a show by Amazon wearing Tolkien's world as a skinsuit. The same thing happened to Star Wars. The viewership of this show is still riding on the name recognition, but as soon as it flops, people will stop watching more. Give it 5 years, and the original Peter Jackson trilogy videos will no longer be culturally relevant because nobody wants LoTR content any more, while record amounts of it continue to get produced.

hehe this reminded me how after matrix 2 and 3 I had forgotten how good the original matrix was. Took me 10 years to rediscover it.
