Really? Then again, I'm not upset, nor did I find it good. It's quite boring and bland. It focuses on a few characters instead of a large quest, but those characters are, well, empty. There's little to nothing that spells greater things to come. And they talk in this pseudo-archaic English ("What say thee of thy tidings, ye olde Master?", you get the idea), but still use words like the noun "project" in its modern sense. And the music for the first Hobbit/Harfoot scene sounds like the bloody Sims. It's a pretty mediocre 5, perhaps 6, out of 10 rating from me.

Back to your statement: where did you get that people "are upset not because the show is bad but because it's not as bad as they expected"? Are there really that many people with the desperate desire to mock it? OTOH, nearly 40% rated it a 10. Where does that come from, then?

I suppose that a few people with bots could also be an explanation.
