What are your expectations regarding the show? The show is going to be based on 2nd age I think, which really does not have much material from Tolkein. I think which will suck. Hope I am wrong.
I'm always really wary about TV shows. Witcher was great, but like you said, if the LOTR show is going to be based around a time when there's not much to go on... it's probably not going to go well.
id honestly rather have a harry potter tv shows that follows the books better than the movies did. then again i havent read all the lotr books so i dont know how much content the movies left out there i suppose. lol
