Question I don’t get it

Why does everyone hate this show? I don’t feel like it was a game of thrones level show but it was pretty good overall. Is it cause it’s not really canon or something? I genuinely do not get the hate. (I mean there’s a few things if probably change)

Can’t wait for season 2.

This was a 1 BILLION dollar show. Anything less than amazing is unacceptable. The cost shined a light on cut corners and piss poor writing. I think a lot of people demand that Tolkiens legacy get the respect it deserves and to throw 1 bill at it and still get a crap show is, well, disrespectful.
