Has anyone been watching The Rings of Power? I am all up to date and am enjoying the show so far. I believe it has the highest budget of any TV show yet and I can tell as it is a gorgeous series, probably the most visually stunning I have seen. The soundtrack is very good, overall not as good as the iconic pieces from the original trilogy but definitely some good pieces in there this far.
Casting is very good and for roles that we have already seen portrayed in the original movies they have clearly selected actors that could realistically age into their counterparts from those. I think the best I have seen so far is Gil-galad as it actually looks like the same guy who appeared briefly in Fellowship.
I think pacing is really my gripe with the show. For the first two or three episodes I did not have this problem but for episodes 4 and 5 things are definitely quite slow moving and I would rather they released the whole thing for us to binge as waiting a week for only minor plot developments seems a bit much.
Anyway feel free to share your thoughts on the series if you have seen it.
