Because most of it is decent to good. But when it's bad, it's bad.

That and Sauron was hiding out on Middle Earth somewhere during that time. He wasn't somewhere else where he would have had to fall from the sky with no memory in order to get there.

I don't see that as being clear, but I do think the writers and directors are making a point of keeping us guessing.
I continue to think he's one of the five wizards, but which one? My thoughts:
Gandalf: I'd like to see a storyline where he slowly learns his powers and eventually uses them out of a desire to do good, but royally messes things up. He carries the simple decency of the Harfoots through this experience, and learns to be exceedingly cautious in his use of power, becoming the Gandalf we know and love. IIRC, he's the only one of the Istari who stuck to his mission to - carefully and cautiously - aid the peoples of MIddle-earth.
Saruman: He tries to do good, but from the 2nd Age struggles with Sauron he learns...the wrong lessons.
Radagast: The trials of the 2nd Age are too much for him, so he abandons his mission to aid the peoples of M-e and just hangs out in the forest with animals.
The Blue Wizards: They have a lot more room to play around with these two.

Episode 3 or 4 was fairly bad as in boring. Last episode was quite good probably the best one.
Adar plotline probably the best one they have atm.

I don't know if we can take that as fact.
If the Stanger is Sauron, it could have been him returning to Middle Earth after leaving Eönwë to hide.
Sauron being "killed" is certainly something new, and we don't know how that's going to be handled. Personally, I would like Sauron to have not been on screen, and already working behind the scenes at the Elven court.

Same. They're already setting up to build the forges in Eregion. Seems to me that there would be a purpose in mind for them, rather than just to make "stuff."

He hid in Middle Earth. He was on Middle Earth when he decided to run away to hide from Eonwe.
He may very well be. Sauron is crafty enough to order Adar to say that he was killed to throw off suspicion.

Maybe he hid by turning into a comet and erasing his memories? We'll have to see.
I think Adar is truthful, in that he hates Sauron and thinks he killed him. I don't think he is a minion of Sauron's.

Sauron was smart. Way too smart to do something dumb like erase his own memories.
Maybe. He could also be a good actor. This we will also have to see.

I never saw Sauron as particularly smart. More like tough to kill with a limitless army. He gets defeated multiple times, and his hubris and evil gives him such a giant blindspot (complete inability to think anyone would want to destroy the Ring) that leads to his ultimate defeat. I can't think of anything he did in LotR that was really clever.
