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?

That’s cool. I get it. And I get your take. Even if LOTR does have definite strong female characters… it is still very much a series about a group of guys being dudes.

That doesn’t matter to a lot of people, but if it matters to your girlfriend or maybe a newer generation of fans that’s a-ok
