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?

It's entertaining, looks gorgeous, is well-acted, and uses Tolkien as a primary inspiration.

Go in without expectations that it's going to be just like when you read the Silmarillion at 16 years old and you might just have an enjoyable 45 minutes once a week.
