I have lots of good to say about these first few episodes. The music and scenery are 10+! Epic World-Building! But this is apparently going to be The Galadriel Show, and it is a shame because she is such a lightweight actor. Why spend billions on a show but then hire a cast of 1000's of unknowns?! I'm a mother with a daughter and I'm ALL FOR strong female characters, and there is plenty of precedent in the Tolkien Books and the P. J. movies, but this Galadriel actor is just not believable. I had to LOL at her fighting the Snow Troll all alone while the men watched. Fortunately, the other acting is tremendous, especially Arondir and Bronwyn!!! Unlike others, I will wait until the end of Season 1 to leave an overall rating for this show. So far, though, it has been enjoyable, and I look forward to the rest of the episodes!
PS I have now watched the first 3 episodes, and I felt like Galadriel's acting was somewhat improved in episode 3. But it still looks like The Galadriel Show...
