A visual feast, with an excellent musical score... but the rest just falls flat. There's nothing to hold the viewer's interest.
Can't see myself following this season beyond the 2 episodes that premiered.
The characters and their dialogue are so poorly written, it feels like I'm watching robots. They don't make choices or drive the story forward, things just happen to them.
(Potential exception: Elrond and his emerging storyline. But we see so little of him it's not worth slogging through the rest)
AND, If you're going to spend insane amounts of money on a project like this - why not hire ONE director and ONE main writer to take care of the whole season, instead of employing these no-vision, direct/write-one-episode-and-I'm-out hacks?
Give me low-budget creations by a team of passionate people who actually have something to say over this soulless "content", any day.
