Has anyone been watching the Rings of Power show? Does anyone expect to watch it in 2024? (lemm.ee)

Just wondering. The show seems to be in kind of an… odd state. I only watched the first episode, didn’t love it, none of my friends expressed positive feelings..

… but it’s got pretty good critical reviews, it’s getting a second season this year, and honestly it often “looks good” from promotional material.

Is it worth giving a second shot? Is anyone looking forward to the second season?

Meh. Yeah, I'll watch it but not because I was overly impressed by season 1. Writing a bit poor, the whole storyline didn't make too much sense. Furthermore, on the one hand they put a lot of Easter eggs for the deep lore fans, but on the other hand they had lots of elements that didn't make sense in canon. I take it as a parallel and weird Tolkienian universe, it's watchable like that.
