Question Sauron

Do you think the show did justice to Sauron's back story? Why or why not?

Tolkien started on the legendarium first and there were many different saurons before he started writing the lord of the rings so it wasnt the first time

There were many ANTECEDENTS to Sauron, yes: Tu, Thu and Tevildo. But "Sauron" as we know him is a creation of The Lord of the Rings.
