This show is a steaming pile of crap. It's low effort, low IQ political propaganda fan fiction in Tolkien's universe. Lead characters are Mary Sues and the rest of the cast serve as useful idiots. Nothing in the storyline makes any sense, or has any coherence. This very same show would have bombed immediately and hardly been mentioned if it were in a new universe.

Can't believe Tolkien's heirs sold out for that kind of trash. Evil cannot create anything on its own, it can only corrupt. JRR was right about that.
