‘The Rings of Power’ on Verge of Season 3 Renewal by Amazon
In the wake of its second season finale and strong ratings, the fantasy epic is very close to getting a pickup.
Who is actually watching this show besides my parents?
I am. I absolutely love it.
In my mind this is no different than the 90s when we got a BUNCH of "extended universe" Star wars stuff, some of which went in some unusual directions.
My friends and I didn't care because it was MORE STAR WARS!
This is MORE MIDDLE EARTH! And it's AWESOME because of it in my mind.
I can't wrap my brain around how picky and critical so many people are these days.
Like, does anyone remember when it was nigh impossible to get stuff to watch in genres you liked? That was way worse in my mind than "the lightsabers look weird".
I watch it while doom scrolling on my phone. I don't watch many shows anymore, so at least it's something.
I don't know exactly what's wrong with it, but it isn't working for me. Especially after season one ended.
Apparently season 2 is much better. I still haven't gotten around to watching any of it though, mostly because of the complaints I saw about it online.
I couldn’t get through the first episode due to extreme boredom
Season 1 was incredibly dull. Really didn't like galadriel. I found season 2 a bit better, a couple of the character arcs were pretty good.
I thought they already paid for 5 seasons.
The show doesn’t hold a candle against the original trilogy but as someone who thought season 1 was largely a 💩, I thought season 2 was more enjoyable. If season 1 got an F from me, I’d give season 2 a C+. The Dwarf scenes remain the better ones for me. I genuinely enjoyed many parts of season 2, but it still suffers from some plot holes and skips, poor dialogue and many characters that I just can’t seem to care for despite the stakes.
I’ll watch season 3 and hope the show can make another quality jump but I’d much rather watch the original trilogy or read the books. If others are enjoying the show, I’m happy for them. It is still just somewhat meh for me. Hopefully we get some good 🧙♂️action in a third season.
