Actually, I'm waiting for the DVD collection to come out because I only subscribe to basic cable TV. From what hardcore LotR fans have been saying, however, it might not be worth watching. I think I haven't seen or read any good reviews to date.
If they had taken Tolkien’s basic story outlines and built on those, I’d be more forgiving. As it is, they’re playing fast and loose with timelines, characters, etc. Amazon is just more or less taking characters’ names and creating entirely new personalities and stories around them.
It’s a train wreck.
