The writing is ok for a generalist fantasy series as I think are the actors but the show does not project Tolkien/middle earth to me. The Dwarfs were well done but the whole "You never came to my Wedding/Birthing event" was pure, mass produced cheese. Does it relate to BG3? Other than it being in a "fantasy" setting, I don't see many connections. I'm trying not to present the argument that they are both aimed at mass market consumers with a passing interest in the world. I think BG3 has way more ambition than that although it needs to be a crowd pleaser to make money so......
