The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (2022)
Occasional good scenes, mostly disappointment
The sets all so clearly look like they're on a very small sound stage, with everything strangely immaculate and artificial looking. The writing is really, really bad in a lot of scenes. I shouldn't be thinking "I could have written that better" so often after hearing dialogue. Lots of really lame/corny lines. The acting is okay; I enjoy what I've seen of the dwarves, and I think they did a good job with the first scene that revealed an orc. SO MANY terrible tropes though. They've shown like 3 death-fakeouts for ONE character. It is SO slow and boring.. I wanted to like it really, but it's just so thoroughly poor. I will be very surprised if this show makes it to season 3.
