The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (2022)
Couldn't even push myself to finish watching it

Bland, boring and so far removed from Tolkien's writing it's laughable they claim to have based it on his writing in each and every episode so far.
I'm going back to the books, might be a good idea for the writers as well, although maybe they'd profit more from a creative writing course first.
Yes, there are some nice shots every now and then, a lot of cheap looking matte paintings as well as a counter balance maybe. I definitely don't see the apparently enormous budget reflected in the quality of either writing, acting or even costume making. I can't see this shows' costumes being printed up in an enormous hardback like the original Game of Thrones got - and if it did, that it would sell more than a few copies.
