We can smell it from a mile away. It's not bad per se, it's just... I wanna see where they take it to pass final judgment. We meet the Numenoreans in the third episode, including Elendil and Isildur (and yes, if you're a fan, then you should know those two names). For some odd reason, Isildur has a little sister, when in the appendices and the Silmarillion, it was a brother. So we had an intentional gender swap there. I guess it doesn't matter because Isildur's brother wasn't even mentioned in any of the films.
I don't know man. There's 3 episodes. Watch them and tell me what you think.
