The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (2022)
Good visuals but forgettable characters and plot

The visuals are really good. But the characters are not interesting or likable. Did not read the source material so I cannot judge based on that. The plot is hard to follow. Galadriel is supposedly very old and wise but acts like an angsty teenager. It's confusing to keep track of which harfoots are related to each other because they all look different, despite claims of being related. Similar point with human villagers. It's pretty distracting. Will be interesting to see if the show improves. Galadriel's smile on the horse (maybe her only smile in the entire show so far) gave me the creeps. Music is pretty good, maybe overly dramatic at times, though.
