I finally got around to binging this over the last two days on paternity leave.
I made it a point not to read any reviews before watching as not to taint my expectations and experience. Glad I didnāt.
I loved every second of the show.
I guess you could call it slow, it didnāt feel that way by LOTR standards though.
Iām particularly geeked out about all the characters that are major parts of the lord we are going to see develop through hopefully a number of seasons. Galadriel, Isildur, Gandalf, Sauron

Anyone watching? Just me? Ok. Well just finished up ep 4. There is so many different storylines and characters to get caught back up on from season 1 that i'll be honest, the first few episodes were a bit of a slog, but after ep 4 it looks like things are finally taking a forward momentum here. Towards what, I'm not all too sure 
I did enjoy season 1, but if I'm being honest
SpeedSpeak2me I'm a bit luke warm on this season so far. I mean it has all the LOTR "things", but that only takes the show so far. With the season basically half over (only 8 eps), they better get a move on from here on out.

I will say tho, since you brought it up. I have been watching the Harry Potter icons unearthed series on vice, and I've come to the realization that ive MAYBE only ever watched the first 2 movies in that series. There's 8!! Who knew! Amazon did recently have the 8 movie 4k bluray set on sale for a pretty good discount, I did think about picking it up. I thought about it.

I did catch the back half of the second episode for the one on Tom Cruise. That Hairy Porter one was right after it.

I forgot to reply. I was watching as it released.
I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it either. There was definitely goofy shit and I found it kind of distracting how the costumes just don't look right.
I found myself checking my phone a lot.

This show is strange. We have been finishing up the last few episodes just to complete it, but its not easy. I dont know what it is, but this show just seems to miss way more than it hits. The story is there for sure, but its poorly executed.

i think you're being quite generous.
the peter jackson movies are all an enjoyable rewatch.
2 seasons of this show are rather forgettable. production quality wise the budget compared to the output seems wild.
would i watch a season 3? probably.
would i ever rewatch the first 2? never.

I can be more direct. The show sucks. It had potential, because the source material (NOT the movies) was extensive and good. I don't know what got screwed up though since I haven't read all of the things outside of the main books.

yes, he gave it too much credit by saying the story was there

The story that Tolkien wrote, not what they put on the show. Maybe I should have worded it as the source material. At least I assume there was a lot of meat on the bone.yes, he gave it too much credit by saying the story was there
We finished it up last night. They could have made these two seasons into 1, or skipped the first one really. Now that we actually know who the players are, we should start getting into some good stuff. We will keep watching it if they keep making it. Mainly because we are both LOTR nerds.
