I've seen two episodes. I think some parts are great, and some parts are frustratingly bad. It's fun to see people take Tolkien's world in original new directions, but on the other hand about half the time it just seems like lazy Hollywood blockbuster writing by people who don't understand the source material. Many of the elves we've seen act more or less like teenagers. Galadriel seems like a decent character, but the story keeps taking her in weird directions, requiring her in one instance to swim an entire ocean.
