The final episode was very underwhelming! I Never took to Rhea Seehorn's character Kim Wexler, it was like constantly being reminded of a bad day at work. Her life just bordered on misery!

The good news is that you're now on to the greatest season of television history.

Yes I could never warm to her either.

Series 2 was fantastic you heathen

Season 2 is the glue, the very root of the story, and the most watchable on repeat viewings.

Dahmer on Netflix is excellent so far

House of the Dragon is very enjoyable. It's not the kind of show you'd have on as background noise though. Need to focus on what they're saying with all the people and place names but it's worth your time.

Rings of power on the other hand is not. Poor writing, slow pace, mostly poor acting and they've made Galadriel, the main protagonist, an insufferable unlikeable brat.

Complete opposite for me.

RoP building a much richer world and is only getting going. It could yet be anything.

HotD is like a boardroom version of GoT. More riding, more violence, more dragons, more incest. It needs to start doing something different or there's just no point to it.
Doc would listen to any kind of nonsense and change it for you to a kind of wisdom.

I'd be a huge Tolkien fan which is maybe skewing how I see RoP. Nothing is making sense from a lore point of view. Mithril being a silmaril was a huge wtf moment and was the last straw for me.
Galadriel is portrayed as a horrible person who throws a strop anytime she doesn't get her way (which is alot). It's not the way Tolkien portrays her at all.

Even the lore thing aside, there are writing issues.  I dont get it when they denounce Galadriel/Halbrand as a threat to Numenor etc, then 1 episode later they are following them into a blind battle they know nothing about?   :o

It is very pretty though, the scenery shots are nice, though I've seen there are replicated extras in crowds of 100 which is unforgiveable with a show this expensive.

Get what you are saying watching it hoping it will bring you back in, they said it would take a few episodes to lay the land as such...

I read the books as a child and have little memory of them it's been that long, think they brought out (80's) a book which was interactive based on his stories which allowed you to make choices which changed deciding on what path you took..

None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

Agree with you on House of the Dragon, brilliant so far. The period of time between episodes obviously enables more material every week though.

The Dahmer show was brilliant.
