The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (2022)
It could have been the most epic series of the century
I wished for this show to be amazing, but sad to say that it's not. It barely deserves the 2 stars; but leaving 1 for the music and 1 for the visuals.
The show is very dated, reflecting our modern day politics and ideologies, which is so contradictory to Tolkien's vision for his world. This world should be timeless.
Many of the characters from the lore have been changed into completely different personalities, and there is lots of tokenization through them. It's understandable that an adaptation has some new elements to it, but this isn't an adaptation of Tolkien. This is an all new fantasy tale with some Tolkien elements sprinkled into it in order to bring in viewers from an already successful and established IP.
The series also has a lot of forced and "cheesy" dialogues with cringy punchlines. I simply do not feel connected with most of the characters. All in all there's just no feeling of being immersed in the story.
So much wasted potential with this series so far, and so much more that could be said honestly. I really hope they make changes going forward with season 2, as I really want this series to be good, but for now; By all means watch it for yourself, but you will be disappointed...
Bering Sea Gold (2012)
Been enjoying it
It has been a really interesting and entertaining show and was for a while, until the latest seasons. Not sure if they have new editors/production team or what, but they turned a really good show into a really, really bad and cheesy sitcom clown fiesta.
