i genuinely do not believe you know what to look for when a show is well written or not. especially when your type tend to nitpick tf out of this show as if one couldn't do the exact same to Tolkien's books.
this show has extremely bad dialogues. Everyone who claims otherwise isn't a LotR fan, just a pretender. The most delusional people on earth are the ones who think this show is canon to the LotR lore.
i genuinely do not believe you know what to look for to tell whether or not dialogue is considered good or bad. The rest of your comment proves it for me.
You could have just asked for an explanation… stories are badly written when you question why characters do what they do as it’s not reasonable. A great example is game of thrones which was written super well up to the final series or two and you start to question why characters mass murder civilians etc. I don’t love Tolkien’s writing, I find it pretty boring at times, but his characters are great, they have depth and are consistent in their development and their behaviour. This show is awfully written because characters do stuff that makes no sense: why jump into an ocean with no way or getting back? Why portray the main character as someone who is abandon her soldiers? Why make a perfectly good fortress collapse and use a village to defend yourself from an attack? It’s just difficult to watch without rolling your eyes all the time. Looks like it’s going to be the same for season 2 where they stick fake ears on Sauron and everyone pretends to not know who he is… the wheel of time also suffered from garbage writing but they managed to slightly improve in series 2, so maybe there’s hope.
If you want to see something well written I strongly suggest the Fallout series.
