I’m a diehard Tolkien fan and have zero interest in this property at all. Firstly because it sounds like they’re winging a plot based on the appendices in the back of LOTR and not any of the stuff found in the Simarillion.

That’s fair, although I don’t feel like I’m telling other people not to watch as much as I am complaining because I’m a curmudgeon.

This isn’t a criticism of the subject matter, or of John Oliver specifically, but I am growing increasingly tired of the genre of “person staring directly at a camera tries to make funny points about politics.” It was one thing when it was just the Daily Show, but now we have Colbert, Trevor Noah, John Oliver, Seth…
