Too many people that should be fans will not watch it or will dismiss it immediately because they have a fixed idea of what it might be and cannot abide a show that deviates one iota.

The people that are claiming it is a mess because some elves have short hair are one example.

In my opinion, it gets anything but the heart of Tolkien. Some details are attempted to be kept similar to LOTR movies, but much of the themes and ideas of the legendarium are not here.

So have I and I don't recommend it to any Tolkien fan because nothing about Rings of Power actually feels like something out of Tolkiens work.
