This is a heinous abomination, a desecration of Tolkien's vision, and an insult to his work. Even if one ignores the fact that this show is supposed to be based on Tolkien's Legendarium and judges it as a stand-alone show, it is mediocre at best.

What is this supposed to be? Superficially, it looks like Tolkien's work but for me, that's where the similarities end. Visually this is an impressive series.There are some genuinely talented actors in the cast, too. That said, Tolkien's work is, in every respect that truly matter's, absent. Really that's because this isn't Tolkien. Its a pretty but ultimately hollow,facsimile. Largely absent is the underlying message about courage,the battle between good and evil and the endless horror of war. What we have instead, to my mind, is a rudderless, unsurprisingly slow show, that seems intent on pushing messages of social justice. All of which, is, of course, no substitute for a compelling story of the kind found in Tolkien's heartfelt epic work.
