TL;DR: Apple TV+ is the best chance, due to them having virtually unlimited funding, a history of genre shows, and a lack of a high fantasy show.
My own opinion is that it seems unlikely.
Came in to say the same thing.
did it get. better? season one was a bit terrible
It got better and finished strong. If they never finish it that’s fine by me. They wrapped up the first act and it stands fine on its own. I do think it’s miles better than Rings of Power which is just a muddled mess.
Thanks for the update, I didn’t care much about the first season and not because it was a “fellowship of the ring copy” (which was the common criticism I read at the time, I was fine with that, I just really didn’t care about any of the characters and found many scenes kind of poorly put together.
I will give season 2 and 3 a try
It got a lot better. But that’s from such a low starting point I genuinely don’t know how I feel about it overall.
Thanks for the reply… I’ll give it a go even if it’s not finished
The series is dead. It got cancelled because nobody was watching it and it cost too much for its own good. I very much doubt anyone would want to waste money trying to resurrect it.
Even if it improved in later seasons (I haven’t watched them, but so I’ve heard), new fans would still need to go through the first one to reach the interesting bits from the following seasons, and that one is just… Rough. It looks and feels cheap, it has horrible pacing and, generally speaking, it’s just not good television. Most people bounced hard after the first season, for good reasons.
Anyone willing to resurrect the show knows that season 1 is just an insurmountable obstacle for the series as a whole. No amount of course reversal will ever save it.
