I feel the best advice is to simply watch it and try not to let online opinions sway you until after you've watched it.

I was dreading it, because I saw a lot of online voices saying it's genuinely the worst thing that has ever been on television. Surprisingly to me, I mostly enjoyed it, although I found season 2 to be stronger than season 1.

A few parts I didn't like, a couple of parts I mentally even groaned and thought "...why did they do that?", and some other parts I found great.

Controversial, but overall I've liked it more than parts 2 and 3 of The Hobbit without a doubt.

A lot of the "why did they do that" is explained by not having access to the Silmarillion. They only have the appendices from LOTR. For such crippling limitation I think they're doing a great job. I'm a lifelong LOTR-Silmarillion superfan, I say fuck the Tolkien estate.
