L'Œil (S01E07)

I'd said before that I would try to overlook any deviations from the brilliant source material, but I just couldn't let this one slide. From Galadriel's monologue, it became painfully apparent to me that the creators killed off Celeborn – the bastards! Even someone who hasn't read Tolkien's works but has seen The Lord of the Rings film trilogy would scratch their head at how Celeborn miraculously appeared alive and well. WTF?! It's now crystal clear to me that the Harfoots are the most cynical, selfish, and hypocritical beings in Middle-earth, as demonstrated by Largo Brandyfoot's speech that included the line "We stay true to each other." I nearly burst out laughing. And to top it off, I discovered that the creators might need a compass, given how the South Land magically transformed into an eastern threat. Well, alright, I suppose I can concede that Mordor was situated in the east-southeast. Overall, this episode goes to show that the creators are a bit lost in their direction, and they barely earn that one-star rating from me. / Lesson learned: Do not enter a burning tavern. 1*- (28/08/2023)

Everything about the Dwarves is good, with the Hobbits is the traditional boredom and running around in circles, while in the calm, thanks to one pub bum, a new territory of evil is created and in case someone didn't get it, the creators obligatorily write it there at the end. (16/04/2023)
