Amazon spending $465M on season 1 of The Lord of the Rings series

people who say only season 8 was bad are part of the problem, book readers were warning about important changes as early as season 3 and 4, GRRM left after 4 due to those changes because while not obvious at first, they would result in entire character arcs getting wrecked long term.

The show started going "Hollywood" in season 5 and it was obviously declining in quality but people defended it and got what they deserved with season 8

I'm happy that there were people who think like me in this regard. I personally was very bothered by season 4/5 and didn't have much hope afterwards but everybody kept hyping the series to cloud nine; it made me very self conscious haha

I'm still pissed about what they did to the Dorne plot.

I pretty much agree. I watched through Season 7, but I think the thrill was gone, after 5.
