This one goes back in time, to the Second Age when Sauron corrupts men and forges the rings, so it could be really interesting. Amazon wanted their own “Game of Thrones,” so some folks (including me) are worried they may push the boundaries too much with violence or sex.
As far as the diversity goes, I’m not *completely* opposed if the stories are well done, and they’re not pushing the woke agenda (at all) through the stories.
So it’s the Silmarillion, then?
I’ll wait until some people watch the first season, and see what they think.
As for fantasy, I liked Tolkien and a series of books called Dragonlance by Hickman and Weis.
