Just wondering. The show seems to be in kind of an… odd state. I only watched the first episode, didn’t love it, none of my friends expressed positive feelings..

… but it’s got pretty good critical reviews, it’s getting a second season this year, and honestly it often “looks good” from promotional material.

Is it worth giving a second shot? Is anyone looking forward to the second season?

Meh. Yeah, I'll watch it but not because I was overly impressed by season 1. Writing a bit poor, the whole storyline didn't make too much sense. Furthermore, on the one hand they put a lot of Easter eggs for the deep lore fans, but on the other hand they had lots of elements that didn't make sense in canon. I take it as a parallel and weird Tolkienian universe, it's watchable like that.
