Update (9/5): After a few more days, things are trending upward at least a little bit, with user scores ticking as more people have seen the show, but they’re still a lot lower than Amazon would like to see, no doubt.

Some fans are upset Galadriel is now a warrior instead of the sword-free sorceress she was in the LOTR trilogy.Among the reasons for the negative reviews:
