I feel like I'm the only person on planet Earth who really enjoyed the Rings of Power. ๐ฅ
I liked it shrug
There are dozens of us! Dozens!
It was fine. Enjoyed it, but it wasn't earth shattering or high art or anything particularly special
You aren't, but the people who didn't like it are loud and obnoxious so you hear a lot from them.
What did you like about the show? Was there anything you disliked?
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.
