Gave up on LOTR which is annoying. I was waiting for this literally for years. I am just bored to tears with it. If it was well written, well acted and had better pacing i would not even care to much about lore being ignored. It is rushed but slow at the same time, Galadrial is about as likeable as a brick in the face. The "fight" against the guards actually made me laugh out loud at how pathetic, lazy and unloved this production is. When the protaganist is unlikeable you have problems. She is also a Mary Sue to a large extent as typified by her scene with the guards.
Why is a 5000 year old wise She-Elf acting like a spoiled teenager all the time, it makes no sense and becomes very annoying very quickly.
When she is on the raft and handling the rope, she is literally just holding it pretending to do stuff with it. I can almost hear the director "hold that rope and look like you are doing something". It is a series of boxes to be checked this show with no love given at all. It looks pretty but if the story and acting don't hold up that shine wears quickly.
Bloated, unfocussed, unloved, you could throw a lot of superlatives at this show really.
House of Dragons is by far the better fantasy show currently. It is not even close and that is a shame.
I thought it was brilliant, really enjoyed it , cheers Maintainin, great call.Just finished The Capture. Very good.

It will in the last 2 episodesI thought episode four was much improved. I think the sets for Lord of The Rings are fantastic but do far the script has been poor. I remain hopeful it'll get better, I quite like the fella who plays Elrond, but the Harfoots have been dire so far.
I think it needs something big to happen.
If i see people on here saying it picks up i'll have another go at it. The main issue with it so far is just the feeling the people who made it have no love for it. Boxes must be checked like "we must show x character is strong" and it is all then shown in a ham fisted way with no consideration for the character/s or story for example. You could say it is very lazy in a nutshell. Lazy, superficial, unloved.Not started watching it yet..
It’s shame that your usually a good judge?
I’ll start watching it when the seasons finished I will watch the full season no matter how poor some are saying it is! Then I’ll probably watch it again to confirm either way piss poor or a masterpiece in intellectual dialogue story telling.. [emoji3166]
Honestly, give it a go, you may be able to overlook some aspects and just enjoy it to a degree. It may even pick up, i really hope it does because i want to like this show. Currently i just don't feel any desire or urge to watch anymore.Damn I was looking forward to this :/
I'm enjoying it but I watch it when I get home from the pub Saturday night, so I'm probably not the best judge.If i see people on here saying it picks up i'll have another go at it.

I really do hope it picks up and even if it doesn't i hope some like it because otherwise it will have been a huge waste of time and money.
What an utter pile of shit Ozark is, bloody hell I didn't think something could be so crap. I feel comparing it to Eastenders is insulting to bloody Eastenders.
Am glad your sticking with it seeing you been saying it’s a pile of shit for the last 12 months(smiley face)
I don't watch many tv series, much prefer movies, with a beginning and an end in under 2 hours, and I've never seen Eastenders so can't comment, but I did enjoy Ozark.What an utter pile of shit Ozark is, bloody hell I didn't think something could be so crap.

You in to self flagellation as well ;)It isn't 12 months. Yeah I know, should have stopped at the one redeeming moment which was the ending of S3, but that drew me in to seeing if it actually turns a corner. It doesn't. Now im 4 away might as well finish it.
Indeed,i gave up on Ep 1.Crossfire the 'thriller' on BBC is fucking hilarious its so bad.
The premise is two 'terrorists' attack a spanish beach hotel. Cue much running around in corridors, whispering and calling separated relatives on mobiles (hint, a ringing phone might let the 'terrorists' know where you are).
Laugh out loud moment. Holidaymakers are cowering hidden in their hotel rooms from the masked assassins. In an attempt to discover which rooms might hold prospective victims, the assassin knocks on the door (although he has the master key) and hisses in the best faux spanish/english accent (is that you Manuel?) 'Room service?'
FFS 'yes, I ordered double hamburger and chips as I got a little bored with he random shooting, murder and mayhem!!!'
Oh my days its bad. Keeley Hawes, you should hang your head in shame.
Episode 3 tonight.
I can't wait.
