10/10
A blessing for my heart
17 October 2022
After watching the first season I have to say I have never seen anything quite as beautiful on screen. For me this season was magical and perfect. Every single frameshot would make an exquisite painting.

There are not many words, but in their place there's wisdom, with its simplicity, simbolism and pause. It's not dialogue or action heavy (only 2/3 battle scenes), it has a sense of airiness, spaciousness, which I absolutely love, though I know it can be an acquired taste. I enjoy having the space to digest a scene before going into a new one, I find it wholesome and healthy somehow, it feels more fulfilling at the end, like the experience of watching seeps deeper inside me.

I loved everything they did visually (the shots, costumes, sets), the actors, the characters, the pace, music, the essence of each culture, with its particular beauty and limitations. It got me curious to read the Silmarillion, the book that inspired the script, and more about the LOTR lore.

For me this is a masterpiece that got woven into my being and I know I will watch it again and again, whenever I yearn for beauty. I hope they maintain their level of dedication, as every single person involved in creating this has been so far outstanding. I'm extremely grateful for their craftsmanship!
