A very good start. As someone whose answer is always “the entire LOTR trilogy” when I’m asked “what’s your favorite movie?” I have to say I went in with low expectations knowing TV show adaptions of something that already exists doesn’t work the majority of the time, I can say the pilot knocked me away. Sure, it’s a slow start but a start nonetheless and you have to keep in mind pilots are usually used to introduce the audience to everything especially considering Middle-Earth is so huge, someone who has never watched LOTR would appreciate it all the more. Those that already have the knowledge of Tolkien’s world, of course it felt a little slow-paced. But the costumes, the scenery, the music, the dialogue, the names and familiar names, the different folk, the languages and the creatures all scream Lord of the Rings and I am, for one, proud of what they have accomplished so far what we’ve seen. I cannot wait to see more. Solid pilot and episode to kick season 1 off.
