The best side effect of a billion-dollar TV show? Calm
, I finally worked out what Amazon’s impossibly expensive show reminded me of. It was not New Zealand, where Peter Jackson’s beloved film trilogy, not-so-belovedprequels and this show’s first season were filmed. Nor was it the English countryside which inspired J. R. R. Tolkien’s sprawling novels. It was a photograph of an almost preternaturally green field in California’s Wine Country, taken by Charles O’Rear – also known as Bliss, the default wallpaper for Microsoft Windows XP.
Despite, or perhaps because of, the author’s grandiose world-building, the plot is straightforward. Following a brutal war between the elves and Morgoth , Sauron kills Galadriel’s brother. She swears revenge, roaming Middle-earth to oust all remaining traces of Sauron. The series kicks off as Galadriel returns from her mission, suspicious that evil is lying just out of sight while her fellow elves live in happy ignorance.
