Is it worth starting?
This is 3 seasons deep — English action & adventure, leaning drama, not one for younger kids. There's a lot of it, which is either the appeal or the problem depending on your week.
- Why
- 7.2/10 from 3,929 ratings — well received so far, on a modest sample.
- Skip if
- you don't want to start something several seasons deep
- Best for
- A long run rather than a single sitting
Story
Beginning in a time of relative peace, we follow an ensemble cast of characters as they confront the re-emergence of evil to Middle-earth. From the darkest depths of the Misty Mountains, to the majestic forests of Lindon, to the breathtaking island kingdom of Númenor, to the furthest reaches of the map, these kingdoms and characters will carve out legacies that live on long after they are gone.
