    I want this to be good, but Amazon’s track record with Rings of Power, etc makes me think there’s no way it won’t be a disappointment.

      I feel like I’m the only person on planet Earth who really enjoyed the Rings of Power. 😥

          I enjoyed most of the characters, especially the relationship between the dwarf prince and the elf smith! (been a bit since I’ve seen the show, forgive me for not remembering the names).

          I really enjoyed the numenor segments, and anything involving the orcs and their tunnels. Also loved the hooded figure mystery.

          I disliked most of the developments relating to Numenor not recognizing a threat and the Harfoots being scared of outsiders; I find xenophobia in media to be kind of a crutch that can be used to excuse lazy storytelling and creating unnecessary conflict, and these developments were no exception.

          But, yeah, overall I found the show to be fun and entertaining, and I enjoyed most of the characters. And, yes, this also includes the warrior elf who many disliked. Without spoiling things, I think the actor fit that role very well.

          I would give it a 7.5 out of 10, I very much enjoyed watching it and would gladly watch a sequel.
