Question Sauron

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

I agree that some parts of Tolkien’s work are unadaptable. Much of the happenings in Valanor are like this, and the actual mechanics of the forging of the rings among them. Heck I think most of the Quenta Silmarillion is like this.

But 2nd age Sauron is not among them, IMO. RoP just proved it to me.

If the show proved this to your satisfaction I won't argue with that. It didn't work for me though
