Watched the first 4 available episodes of season 3, and so far it's pretty good. There's a TL,DR at the bottom if you don't care to read the following essay.

While I understand not everyone is going to like watching what feels like a very expensive fan fiction, I don't really understand why this show gets so much more hate than say, the Hobbit trilogy.

TLDR.

Because everything is stupid, gay, and black.

Galadriel is a dumb cunt in love with Sauron. The actress is a skinny small crack head looking woman. On top of all the corny girl boss stuff, she's not even sexually appealing.

This show just sucks. There's nothing redeeming about any part of it.

I made it through the first two seasons to watch the train wreck for myself, and a train wreck it was. So after some back and forth on it, I decided I might as well see what they were going to do to try to recover this season after a lot of the marketing this year was along the lines of "we got the message and are going to to do better now."

There is a noticeable change in writing but still a lot of cheese. Some noticeable parts where the showrunners/writers were saying "see, we actually read the books and watched the movies; we are just like you, fellow Tolkien fan." For example, one line was something to the effect of "oh no, Sauron is trying to forge the One Ring and if he does that he will become THE LORD OF THE RINGS."

Best comparison that comes to mind for this season is maybe Picard, where the first two season were utter shit unless you were the deepest of undiscerning Trek fanboi (purportedly, as I didn't watch them), then the third season they actually tried to make it more in line, tonally, with TNG show/movies.
