The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (2022)
Badly written and boring.

I wonder if Amazon will hide this review.
It might be a beautiful-looking show but just because something looks good doesn't automatically mean its quality. I would consider myself an average Lord of the Rings. Not a superfan but not new to the world. But this show is just so empty from a writing/story standpoint.
- I care about none of the characters.
- Some of the worst/cheesiest lines ever written.
- Constantly jumping from one character to the next for short and pointless scenes.
- Characters make some rather stupid and unbelievable decisions (someone swims across the entire sea...yup).
- It doesn't give you time to care for any character while at the same time feeling long and tedious. I chalk that up to the constant jumping around.
- Surprisingly, I don't find it too pushy with the "current year" kind of stuff but still at times, it still creeps out a wee bit from time to time though.
- Its tonally all over the place, one minute it's light and kid-friendly, and the next it's scary and trying too hard to be a mature Game of Thrones rip-off.
