I would say Rings of Power, then again it has basically nothing to do with any books and seems to be based on bad fan fiction.
But the thing is, Rings of Power is incredibly fun, because it completely ignores source, steals just enough character names & places to get Lord of the Rings fans excited, but it's not boring. Lord of the Rings is about thousands of pages of walking.
Galadriel is a WOMAN and therefore according to Professor Tolkien is useless. Show makes her the one badass in Middle Earth.
I did hate the not-yet-Hobbits, that was not a good invention.
I have friends who are big time LOTR fans who absolutely hate it and didnโt get past the first couple of episodes.
Me - who has no context around the whole thing - found it kinda entertaining :/
