We watched these without reactions last week and Ep 3 last night. It's great that we have new LOTR content, and that it looks spectacular. The problem is the boredom and not falling asleep for us. Not a hater and we will watch every season and every episode, but they have to pick up the pacing.

Why else do you think the promotion for this show largely revolved around 'Diversity and inclusion!' and 'We're bringing Tolkien to a modern audience!' (even though the *timelessness* of Tolkien's universe was always its main appeal... and has also had numerous non-white fans over the years as a result)? ๐ Maybe because they knew they had nothing on the substance front? And/or because they knew Amazon has a shit-ton invested in this series and it failing would be disastrous for them? ('We pray to thee, almighty capitalism...' ๐คฎ) I'm still trying to figure out when it apparently became impossible for someone to relate to a fictional character unless they were the same race/ethnicity/gender/sexual orientation/religion/etc. as you. Is this just an indication of how narcissistic our society has become? So much for MLK's preaching about 'content of character,' huh? ๐คทโโ

After watching the show so far, my reaction to it is pretty much the same as my reaction to the trailers. Visually stunning, narratively underwhelming. This show has a MASSIVE budget. Clearly they put every dollar of it on screen, I just wish they'd saved some for the writers' room.
