The characters in the show have very little to do with their namesakes and besides that, RoP's Elendil is a plank of wood (until this last episode when he becomes a tearful plank of wood) and Isildur is an idiot so I'm bemused as to how you reckon that.

So, if you havent watched it because of bad online reviews: do yourself
a favor, watch it and form your own opinion.
Well, I already have and as far as I'm concerned, the negative online reviews are in the right and the only reason to watch it is out of morbid curiosity. I can't recommend it to anyone otherwise, it's just that bad. Not just as a Tolkien adaptation but as fantasy, period.
