‘ The Rings Of Power ’ Season 2 Premiere Review: A Dreadful, Jumbled Mockery Of Tolkien ’s ‘The Lord Of The Rings’Season 2 on Prime Video, though the show’s sophomore effort did not make this either pleasant or easy for me. The trappings of a decent epic fantasy are here. It looks good and it sounds very nice but that’s about it. Season 2 is, if anything, worse than Season 1, or at least messier.
Election 2024 Swing State Polls: Harris Leads Or Ties Trump In All Battleground States, Latest Survey FindsKamala Harris Addresses Economy In Major CNN Interview—Here’s What To Know About Her Policy Agenda pparently, Galadriel never warned Celebrimbor that he was actually Sauron. I’m not sure how this all spreads out sensibly on the timeline. It’s peculiar to say the least, given we saw Halbrand abscond to Mordor at the end of Season 1. Why do we need all this backstory and other nonsense to confuse things?
Meanwhile, every elven scene is crammed to the brim with Very Meaningful and Deep dialogue, often florid and grandiose, in ways that do not reflect how people actually speak to one another—including elves. Purple prose’s chatty cousin is a relentless bastard. I’m exhausted just thinking about it.Honestly, I found the first three episodes of Season 2 exhausting in general. It’s all over the place. Things are constantly Very Serious but without any sort of emotional hook to make us care.
