Trudging through this at the moment.

Did the same 2 weeks back. Absolutely terrible.
I wouldn't say it was really good. But I enjoyed it. Wanted to watch the next episode. But wasn't blown away by it.
But yeah if people hate it, not sure why carry on watching?

The post above yours literally says give it a chance so we stick with it giving each episode a chance. Or should we not give it a chance and stop after how many bad episodes?
You don't get why people would stick around for what, 8 episodes?, of LOTR material? Hardly a 24 hour show.
When someone says "trudging through it, it's absolute crap" I'd say they've given it a chance and should probably give up and watch/do something else
That's very different to "I'm not enjoying the first few episodes , does it get better?"
I loved it and cannot wait for the next series. I understand people not liking it but hate watching has become such a big thing now. There's no clicks in telling people you liked something. People pick the tiniest holes in stories while ignoring the ones in the original material. I loved the phase 1- End game Marvel but it's now moved on to material I don't find enjoyable. I don't "trudge" through it, I just don't watch it. Same with Walking Dead, the same people from series 3 kept saying how crap it was, right to the end. Then they were "glad it's over".
So much choice out there, no need to 'trudge through' anything.

Im personally not really fussed by "true to the source".
If things aren't true to source I just see it as a stand alone and enjoy it for what it is.
What I don't like is within a spin off they break thier own rules.
Star trek did this a lot!
One thing I really find "petty" is when people get wound up by changing a characters race. You see it all the time. That's just one obvious example.
You're not going to like many new spin offs if you nit pick to the nth degree

I'm the same, if it's a story about Boris Becker I get not wanting a black or Asian man to play him. But in a made up story, even if the book was a white elf, I really don't care it's now a black elf. Most of that stuff passes me buy if I didn't see someone wittering about it here or on YouTube.
I started watching it this weekend having heard middling reviews/online hate - and I have to say it’s great. Dark and violent in the right places, great visuals, great sound, looks absolutely stunning on my newish Panasonic OLED. Just wish I’d sorted a soundbar already! I should have watched this ages ago. Kicking myself I didn’t. I’m already on ep6 after two days.
Absolutely this.
