I disagree about awful. They've delivered two mediocre seasons so far. Which is to say some storylines have been awful, but some storylines have been great.

I really enjoyed the Celebrimbor storyline last season for example.

When writing my comment I nearly said mediocre but then changed it. Mediocre felt generous to me.

Season 2 was much better IMO, though that's just that*: my opinion lol

The source material was already gonna be a clusterfuck to deal with, and they are doing "OK" interpreting.

Edit: spelling

We started the first season. But kept forgetting to keep watching it. Now we cancelled prime. Maybe some day we will watch it all.

Nah, It's really not nearly as bad as some of the true believers want it to be.

Enjoyed both. I feel like they did great for season 2. I’m happy so far with the product. I must be the minority. But I enjoy it.

Me and my wife also like the show. Isn't the best show ever made, it's OK. Not everything needs to be 10/10 to be enjoyable.

[–] PissingIntoTheWind@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Exactly.
