I think the hate is way over-stated. The available Second Age material is relatively sparse and it was bound to require some creative adaptation and interpretation to work on TV but won't be what some fans have imagined it would. But I like most of the plot-lines. And finally seeing the things that were just hinted at in the LotR movies and books/appendices; Sauron in person driving the major events, the Elven states still a significant force, Numenor at its peak, the Rings of Power being used, etc
