I’ll keep watching, but the dialog and costumes are ridiculous.

So, I'm interested in the concept and I don't know what to think; reviews all seem political.
Is it worth watching, or don't bother? |

I would say if you liked the original LOTR, then they are worth watching. That said, 3 episodes in, they are underwhelming and fairly boring. A lot of these streaming series are falling into the trap of taking a 2 1/2 hour movie and stretching it out to 10 1-hour episodes, bloated with extra slow-moving background on every episode. So far I am not that impressed with it. But I am still hopeful that the action will pick up.

Next episode will be very telling. There are only 8 episodes, and halfway through a season is where things should really start to pick up.
If episode 4 is as boring as the first 3, that probably means the payoff won't be there this season. I will say, even though it wasn't necessarily good, episode 3 was at least the best one yet. |

Who else could he be? Old guy with beard, has a special connection with hobbits, clearly a magic user.
Remember, of all "the Wise" in middle earth, Gandalf is the only one who thinks much of hobbits. They're clearly setting up the backstory for that attitude. |

Gandalf in the books wasn't supposed to be in Middle Earth till much later. But they could definitely be creating something new with Gandalf that wasn't in the books. Who knows. |
