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?

I watched the first season. I’ve never been a huge LOTR fan (watched and enjoyed the movie trilogy but never read the books) so I didn’t really mind that they were taking liberties with the source material. The only criteria I had was they had to tell a good story. And the just… didn’t. I was bored out of my mind the whole time. Not planning on watching the second season. I feel like I wasted enough time already with the first one.
