I was disappointed at first. The LOTR scenery was fantastic, This was so CGI'd up it was distracting But, the last two shows killed it. Saved the season. That's the quality I was expecting.
Wonder why they put it on at the same time as the HOTD? Is streaming becoming like broadcast TV, put your best against their best like its a sporting event? |

Tolkien deserved better.
I just hope the wokeness doesn't ruin C.S. Lewis' work. |

That’s funny I’ve done the exact same thing. The prologue in the beginning never made much sense to me but after this series I now realize how that whole backstory was actually already part of the universe that had been built. |

For those interested, this is pretty cool.
It's the unabridged fellowship of the rings audio book but made as a high quality audio production in the style of Peter Jackson's movies complete with ambient sounds, sound effects, the score from the movies and very talented voice actors that are either similar to or spot on as the voices of the actors from the movies. pippin and Gandalf especially so far sound spot on So its like the book and the movies mashed together in the best way possible. I have no idea when why or how this was made, but you can listen to the entire fellowship on this channel for free. or here: https://soundcloud.com/rootntwig |

The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power unveils its all-female slate of directors and confirms season two will be spread over eight episodes I'm sure this will get true Tolkien fans to change their minds about the series, and go running to watch it. |

Brändström directed easily the best episode from the 1st season (the battle in the Southlands and eruption of Mount Doom), so that's probably not a bad idea to have her do more.
