I see there's plans to do a 5 season TV series.

It'll be based a few thousand years before the Trilogy. So I presume that will be around the time of Sauron coming to power for the first time.

It needs boobs and dragons in it.

I guess the producers are hoping it will ride on the coattails of Game Of Thrones??

I'm not much of a fan of the whole fantasy genre, but the LOTR movies were surprisingly good - and also surprisingly long, even without the extended yawn special editions.
The Hobbit seemed like a bit of a lackluster encore in comparison.

I'm a bad kiwi in that I have never seen even one of the LOTR movies in it entirety, I tried the first one and feel asleep about 30 mins in (lol)

A TV series I could probably manage.

Maybe I should give the LOTR movies another crack while I'm in quarantine.

HOLY F**K! there's 6 movies, totalling 17.5 hrs!

So do I watch the Hobbit ones first to be in chronological order? My only exposure to any of it is reading the Hobbit as a teenager.

You can watch The Hobbit first. It doesn't make any difference.
