Forget the lore or diversity hires...


It's just a very bad TV show.
No one wants a LOST in Middle Earth. And "mystery boxes" are no substitute for good storytelling.
What we wanted was a new epic adventure set in a world we know and love.
What we got was repurposed stuff lifted from the movies and dialogues written by a random cliché generator.


The only logical explanation remains: someone with a grudge is actively sabotaging the most expensive Amazon TV project.

I'm starting to see left leaning people who initially defended the show now admitting it sucks. I don't see how Amazon can continue on for the multiple seasons they have planned when both sides hate it for every possible reason.

This entire dumpster fire is gonna kill any chance of doing any more original Amazon Studios tv projects. At least they're being given a hard lesson on "woke doesn't sell," and "don't hire idiots from Bad Reboot."

Amazon's store will do okay, but I don't have high hopes for their breaking into the tv streaming world.

Maybe they will hire new showrunners who actually know what they are doing.

I'm afraid the head of Amazon studios suffers from a terrible condition called Rectal Cranial Inversion. They don't want to admit they made a mistake, which is why they messed up again after Wheel of Time. People like that, rather than learning from their mistakes, will double down on doing the same thing, refusing to admit what they're doing is hurting them, and continue to screw up and lose money. They're like drug addicts, they can't quit the woke coke and will fight to the death to stay addicted, rather than fix the problem.

This would be their only chance to redeem and make a good show.

But I think they will double down on it, blame the “toxic fans” and review bombing and will never admit their mistakes.

The left is acting like communists, just lying about how successful the show is and denying anything bad or blaming on haters …

The reasons this show sucks have nothing to do with anything woke or diversity related. Terrible plotting, script writing, casting, acting, directing, complete disregard for the history of Tolkien’s world. It just all REEKS.
