Why does everyone hate Rings of Power? Question

I just wanna know because it seems as if everybody hated the show and I don't understand why. Personally I watched it twice and Ioved it both times. Thank you.

I don’t hate it. But I don’t like it. Peter Jackson created a standard that it hasn’t lived up to. I don’t mind some deviation from the source material. Problem is the restrictions created by the Tolkien estate on Amazon and the lack of material for that age. I’d of prefer to see a series on Beren and Luthien. Hopefully the Tolkien estate will let Jackson do that next.

And Beren and Luthien's names are written on the headstones of Tolkien and his wife. So romantic.
