Plot: Set thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings, this epic drama follows an ensemble cast of characters, both familiar and new, as they confront the long-feared re-emergence of evil to Middle-earth.
Season 2 of Rings of power was Really Bad.
Pros: Sauron was being a very masturbation villain to see him developed. The fights still fell epic and I feel for lord Celebrimbor throughout this season.
Cons: It failed as a sequel to last season. I lost focus of the storylines when they were happening. Nothing was done with the rings except when the plot calls for them. The characters that I like from last season didn’t had that much to do this season and the dark elves, dark wizard & minions felt band & forgettable.
