I’ve watched every episode except the finale. Will hopefully get to that soon enough. But overall, I was pleasantly surprised looking at it as just a show. I love the scenery and to be honest the storyline is interesting enough to keep watching for what happens next. Even the variety of characters personality-wise intrigues me. Im also a fan of their choice of horses :D Unfortunately, I haven’t read deeply enough into the lore to check for accuracy. Maybe one day I can do that. However, from reading the LotR and Hobbit books as well as watching the movies multiple times, one of my biggest peeves is that the show doesn’t really [i]feel[/i] like LotR. It’s less… real, I guess. And some of the designs remind me too much of some modern, stereotypical fantasy film things. [spoiler]Numenor gave me this vibe. I could see their effort in armor and some of the clothing, but something about it all was out of place to me.[/spoiler] Some scenes looked kinda staged… dialogue maybe a little forced in some small places… But all those are nit-picks from me. I tried not to come in with high expectations. On its own, I quite like it. Compare it to the originals, it feels like a different world in many aspects, just with familiar names.
