The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (2022)
Pure disappointment

The writing breaks many rules in a way that is either incompetent or extremely arrogant. There is no attachment to characters and dialogue is terribly bland. Adapting Tolkien isn't easy but this show just butchers it. So much nonsensical issues are being juggled simultaneously that one cannot have interest in the characters. The insane cost per episode was clearly not used in costume design, choreography, makeup, or writing. It's hard to determine where all that money went but it's easy enough to conclude that it's money wasted. This show is how not to write or direct fantasy. I hope people will learn from it and prevent future shows from being absolutely pathetic.
