It's never a great sign when you have to soft-reboot your show after just 2 seasons ...

I turned on S02 recently and was whelmed. I’m also on a rewatch of Eureka, a 20 year old show with a budget per season that is eclipsed by a single episode of RoP, and back to back, the absolutely flat colour grading and sound mastering (of RoP) is embarrassing. They had a billion dollar budget?

The SFX don’t stand up compared to the 25 year old movies. The story is centuries - millennia?- compressed into months and years. It’s no wonder it didn’t catch on and it’s not because of woke black dwarves and strong female leads.

I've never watched this show. I've never had a desire to watch this show. I'm a huge fan of the Peter Jackson movies and all the books Tolkien wrote.

I think most people can tell when something is a legitimate artistic creation and when something is a cash grab.

I didn’t even know this was coming out this week.

It’d be tight if Amazon stopped raping Tolkien
