implying this has any sort of consistency with the legendarium

Some of the names are the same at least.

Honestly I can’t figure out why I am enjoying watching this show.

It’s entertaining but not like the usual tv shows where you immerse yourself in the world and characters but more like hey let’s see what the heck they will stitch together from crumbs of lorr this time

Kinda like watching video of drugged person doing stunts in public, too fascinating to avert the gaze

I’m not hate watching it. However it’s a mediocre enough fantasy show with some moments of greatness to keep me entertained. Are there even any good high fantasy tv shows?
