The first few episodes of Rings of Power were not much to my liking. Manufactured story lines. Manufactured characters. The events of the Second Age and its characters as told by Tolkien (even though not fully fleshed out) are far richer than the contrived mess in this show.
About half way through the season it began to grow on me a bit and I started to think maybe when it gets around to telling the proper story all will be well. I was wrong. Instead of telling Tolkien's story of how the rings were created these Prime folks plucked a few pieces from him and just rewrote the history. They rewrote Tolkien! I hope his estate sues Amazon but I suspect the money has already changed hands.
Disgraceful.
