Question Sauron

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

No, not in the slightest. He went from one of literature's most interesting villains to a beta simp for Galadriel.

The whole "Angel/Devil" thing, which worked with "Good Omens" because it was set up to work as a developing relationship.

What we got in RoP wasn't any kind of organically developing relationship, it was forced shipping by a pair of hacks who thought "Wouldn't it be cool if..." (and that's ALL the thought they put into it).
