Still, couldn't it work? We've talked before about how a TV series would have the potential to be more satisfying to purists.

The question is would it be well done.

I'm already skeptical just on the basis of who is involved. I don't think their motivations lend themselves to being faithful to Tolkien's narrative. I fear Amazon is trying to make the next Game of Thrones. I don't want to see the Prancing Pony turned into a bordello.

I also think this is still too soon after the movies for anything else to really take off.
