The Rings of Power story is the story of Tolkien's 2nd age, only alluded to in the LOTR novels. It's over 3000 years long, so it's being compressed a lot in the series. Plus the writers are inventing storylines that Tolkien did not, such as the stranger landing in a meteor. About the only thing a reader of LOTR is going to remember is the names of a couple of immortal elves, Elrond and Galadriel. But if you've been a serious student of Tolkien's other writings, you are likely as not upset about things the show is doing 'wrong.' All of which matters not to the review bombers, they are triggered by race issues.
