This prequel of the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings is set thousands of years before. It’s a time of peace but Galadriel, a warrior elve, is persuaded that evil is coming back to Middle-Earth and is looking for Sauron everywhere. In this first season, we see the forging of the rings of power, the fall of Númenor and the return of Sauron. Several parallel stories remain unfinished, mainly the quest of the Stranger, accompanied by Nori, a halfoot, who is looking for an unknown constellation, three spooky strangers that seem to be looking for Sauron and the disappearance of Isildur, son of Elendir, a Númenórean sea captain. Really lovely series along the line of the Lord of the Rings with majestic landscapes and horrible orcs. Looking forward to the next season
