I dunno Silmarillion was one of the driest, most awful books I've ever read. If i wasn't such a huge Tolkien fan I never would have finished it.

Shows great, fuck the armchair critics. If you don't enjoy it, quit watching it. There are always people saying things like, "I hate the show so much, the 15th episode was the worst of them all!" Go watch something you enjoy if it's that bad people.

I quit after the first episode when I realized it's not really based on Tolkien's work and it wasn't going to be a novel and unique concept.

I agree The Silmarillion is rather dry and somewhat convoluted. But the main story offers a lot of potential for epic story telling. Setting the story in Numenor could also offer a lot of potential.
