First of all, way better than season 1 !
But i get why season one had to be the way that it is....lots of story lines to develop!
Sauron..............lying jack wagon!!! Enough said !
I can handle the 'battle scenes' of all of this...LOTR, The Hobbit, and this series.
But this series, so far, seems more gory than the films. I mean, do you have to show characters getting stabbed multiple times right up front?
I wouldnt let my younger kids watch this series!!
That being said, I Love the themes of loyalty, courage, love, sacrifice!
