I am glad I am unencumbered with political agenda, because I have enjoyed the show thus far.

It’s okay so far. I’m guessing maybe it’s more interesting or perhaps more tendency to dislike it for those who know the source material. We are still trying to figure out who is who for the most part. The wife did say that she thinks the Galadria (sp?) isn’t believable and the actress tries too hard to be tough.
Something else really annoying about her character, but maybe I’m missing something. She’s been going to the ends of the earth looking for orcs with no success right? But apparently she really sucks at it because they are basically in broad daylight attacking or preparing to attack well known human settlements. Sort of undermines her as some expert smart leader though that doesn’t seem to be on purpose. |

I'd imagine shopping at Spencer's gifts is like going to a modern art museum for you...

I turned it off when Nori's father broke his ankle and I realized that I did not give a single shit about it, or them.

They made Galadriel absolutely unlikable. She's angry, entitled, and basically just a ****. |

I tried it.
It was terrible and spit on the original vision.

My favorite part was when Galadriel, Princess Warrior, drew her light sabre and proclaimed you're a jedi, Harry!
I'm literally crying as I type this. So stunning. Very brave.

They could have told this entire story through the character of black elf guy and it probably would have been cool.
