I've watched the first 3 episodes of season 2 with my wife, despite not liking season 1, but hey, it's a Tolkien show so I will watch it regardless.

Half the time we were on our phones, reading articles or playing some game, because this show is slow and the dialogue is pretty pointless half the time. There are no characters we are really invested in. I guess Durin the younger comes closest, but man, the character building sucks in this show.

I will still watch it, because I'm a Tolkien nerd and I will watch it if only to bash it. I just wish there were fewer reasons to do so.

I read this to my partner; we both said, “that’s us!”
