@Ryan from what I read the main problem people had with it was diversity. Didn't like black hobbits and black elves. Brown dwarves a no go too!

I'm really enjoying it. Not quite Helms Deep but when it gets going the battle scenes are pretty good.

Creation of certain landmarks from the Lord Of The Rings are pretty amazing to see as well.

I'm on episode 7 but due to googling stuff I've spoilt one of the major plot arcs of this season looking to see if there were pics of Sauron......doh!!

Mate no one gave a toss about black hobbits or elves(well I didn't anyway). Lenny Henry was just a crap hobbit with a brummie accent pmsl

Show was fantastic though. Try wheel of time as well. First series was poor as it was shot during covid. Second series really picks up. Books are amazing.

@John-Folan We smashed Shogun, I am gutted we did as I loved it.

Ryan

@Richard-Latimer thats the one!!!

I will not be watching that. My wife will though. Each to their own. Three body problem seems ok though.

Shogun(just wow)
Mayor of Kingstown(did two series in five days)

@Matt-Wood it is amazing, does kind of jump the shark at some point though. You'll know when it happens.

When they brought it back recently though, that was worth watching.

@Ryan Baby Reindeer, it's on my list

Martin

@John-Folan nice will fire it up later

John Folan

@Matt-Wood

Dexter is brilliant

Matt Wood

An old one from me, missed it first time around.

Just finished season 1 of Dexter, loved it and can see why so many people have said I should watch this.

Ryan

@Richard-Latimer That got a bit of stick but I actually really liked that, liked it more than the game of thrones spin off.

@John-Folan I've just started Rings Of Power with the missus. Got a feeling it's going to take a while as one minute her eyes are open, next minute I look round and she's zonked

Constantly having to go back and find the last bit she remembers

It’s painful watching anything with partners

@John-Folan Thats why I like it a lot as well, because I have to proper zone out and focus which is great!

Annoying when the wife is like whats happening, get off your phone!

Won’t watch stuff like that with my wife. Not worth it lol
