Don't recall the specific numbers, but yeah, it was definitely low. I think I struggled all the way until just before the last episode before calling it quits. I *really* like the original film trilogy, and consider them among the best fantasy films made, so I should be exactly the target market for them, but this is something altogether different. Even the Hobbit wasn't so bad. Oh, a bit padded out, yes, but some individual scenes in the Hobbit were still good. Smaug remains amazing, after all.
This is lacking in redeeming qualities.
