the acting in various ways has been critiqued to be bad for the same reason the writing is bad, the actors chosen for the majority of the main roles are amateurs or semi-professional actors who have little to no back catalogue of major acting credit to their name but are somehow magically meant to be believed to be good at their craft?, all of the fight choreography has been shown to be amateur in nature by the very fact that it shows how bad the actors are in those scenes, the direction and filming crew are shown as amateurish by the fact that the angles they shoot scenes from is all wrong, and has been shown by professionals in the space showing how they did it in the show versus how it should be done and how it has been done historically on big budget productions in other areas, and the contrast is night and day in terms of competency.
based on your asinine comment it seems none of these genuine and legitimate criticisms mean anything because it doesn't align with your world view, therefore they can't be correct at all, and as an aside, the actress who plays the main lead role has 2 facial expressions, angry, and holding in a shit, there's no other alternatives and it's comical that this amateur stage actor with 1 previous named role to her name is in your eyes considered a credible lead character, it speaks volumes really that you're so dense to enjoy this dross that you think it actually reflects the established lore in any way despite the myriad plot holes and outright bastardisations of the lore evident to anyone with an ounce of knowledge of the original works, which clearly you do not based on your comment, so unless you have some compelling evidence to support your stance that this show is good, i wouldn't bother coming back to the thread because all you're doing is wasting everyone's time by defending the indefensible.

because every single shot in the show is small scale, none of the shots where there's any actual dialogue happening are large scale this is highlighted comically by the fact that they had to copy/paste and CGI a crowd into a tiny little space in one of the florist - turned - military leader scenes, where there's so much photoshop duplication that the actual number of extras used for that scene was counted to be ~15 unique people, whereas in the PJ trilogy the last charge of the Rohirrim scene had over 400 extras all on horseback alone, not counting the actors and real people that were used as the orcish frontline for the charge, as it stands right now this entire show has less than that as a cast for the ENTIRE project so far, so obviously with little to no background characters, small sets where literally everything happens in the same few streets or glades, there's no sense of scale because the amateur writers and showrunners don't know how to do scale, same reason there's no sense to time because they have decided they wanted to sandwich 4000 years worth of events into a matter of a couple of decades and having anything that provides any form of reference point for the passage of time would completely undo their whole narrative and undermine the show as a whole.
