So... worth watching? I put this off after being burned by the Wheel of Time. I don't mind a slow start and thought it would get better, but it did not.

- smoldesu 4y ago> So... worth watching? Kinda, if you're a glutton for awful production. I made it through a whopping two-and-a-half episodes before stopping for the sake of my mental health: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32891694 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32891694 It's... truly unprecedented television.
- brucethemoose2 4y agoI thought you were exaggerating until I saw that horse riding clip. Who approved this at Amazon? ...at least it not exposition. Its like they took "show, don't tell" way too far.
- smoldesu 4y agoIt's dumbfounding. I didn't mean to sound hyperbolic, but this show is a masterclass in wasting your audience's time. They paid a fortune for some great stock footage, actors, sets, costumes and special effects, but only managed to make it's relation to Tolkien superficial.
