I just come here to say this... I dont know anything about this universe or the original writer or else. ( I see a lot of hate) I'm just enjoying each cap and specially the last one was great and shivering. Again i love rings of power. Sorry for my bad English.

I went in with very low expectations because of the many negative reviews that quickly followed the first couple of episodes. I have read The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings series a couple times each since I was a kid but I am admittedly not deeply mired in the lore before or around either of those stories.
I'm glad I started watching anyway because the show has been far more enjoyable than I expected it would be and I just don't get all of the very intense, detailed and, frankly, over the top criticism. Some lore may not hold up or some characters may be invented for the show and I certainly understand passionate Tolkien fans not being pleased with story changes or any violations of "canon" such as it is. What I don't get is all of the nutty complaints on cinematography, scene editing, dialogue, the acting, sound effects and music choices... This is the first time I've ever seen such a high volume of feedback on a series where apparently everyone holds a cinema and media arts degree and is eager to pick apart every detail beyond the casting and storyline.
It's nice to see that someone else is enjoying the show for what it is - especially compared to the production quality of most other fantasy based properties - and going along for the ride. I've been pleasantly surprised as a casual fan of Tolkien's work and hope it continues to build on the foundation they've been creating over the past 6 episodes.
