I think I feel something similar. The show was generally okay, especially in terms of its visuals and CGI. But I felt as though I were missing something I can't quite describe.
Same. The world on screen has the Tolkienesque Middle-earth aesthetic in terms of visuals and the names of characters and locations but the story is missing the soul of Tolkien's work. It's an ineffable quality. Something just feels "off." Like I hinted at in the review, it feels more like something Terry Brooks or one of the other Tolkien imitators would write.
