NNN - it’s a series BASED on Tolkien’s work, it’s a show which isn’t the same as some of the book canons, just like the movie are different from the books in some parts. Get over it. NEEDS_MORE_RATINGS(19-0-15) Author

NNN - note is incorrect, and not needed. Galadriel did not know Annatar was Sauron - nobody did. She was only not deceived to believe he was apprenticed to Aulë. Tolkien's son Christopher annotates in Unfinished Tales to specifically call out that "no explanation is offered" [Link] NEEDS_MORE_RATINGS(10-2-16) Author

NNN. <<Neither “Galadriel was fooled by Annatar” nor “Galadriel wasn’t fooled by Annatar”>> [Link] Anyway, the series is just an adaptation of Tolkien's work and it's perfectly normal for the writing team to have taken artistic liberties. This can be discussed in the comments. NEEDS_MORE_RATINGS(2-0-2) Author
