I wish you were wrong, but you're not. And the idiot showrunners had the gall to say they were being so faithful to Tolkien's writing.
Now I want to see the second season out of spite, to see how even stupider they can go. It'll be hard to top "A volcano blew up in my face but I walked it off" but I'm sure they can manage even worse than that!

In the lore and books Sauron could change his physical appearance to look like an elf or man because he is a maiar, which is basically the LotR version of an angel/demigod, this is what Gandalf was as well and he took the appearance of an old man like all the wizards did.
In the books he took the form of an elf in the second age and convinced them to forge the one ring for him more or less. Like a thousand years later he was captured by Numenorians and convinced them to invade the undying lands where the elves and gods live. This is when Numenor sunk. Sauron's physical form was ‘killed' by this as well so he couldn't physically change going forward but his spirit lived on more or less.
I am sure the show runners have a different r-slurred explanation though as they aren't following the timeline of the second age at all.

I love the movies and never read the books, and the more I learn about the lore the more r-slurred it all sounds.
It's so much better with Sauron just being a big bad guy without explanation. The story really just doesn't need it.

He's supposed to be a disciple of Satan, man

But the stakes were higher with him as the ultimate evil, now it just sounds like he's just some bad guy
