Great visuals, terrible script. It seems like they've spent all the budget for the characterization, cgi, scenarios and everything related to creating the ambience. There's no doubt about the superb images produces by the show. However, none of this matters when the script is so terribly written, and the story doesn't make any sense. I don't care if it follows the official story of tolkien, as long as they tell a good narrative, which doesn't happen. The caracters's motivations are unbelievable and I could care less about any of them (maybe prince durin). Sometimes I caught myself thinking that I was the one not liking tv anymore, but them I remembered the many shows that, despite some problems, do much more with a lot less, because they have, during most of the time, a good compelling story, even without following the official lore (e.g. the boys, the penguin, invincible, house of the dragon). This show is obviously worse than the lotr trilogy, and makes me value the hobbit trilogy (the latter still has a more coherent and entertaining pace than rings of power, all problems considered. In conclusion, I'm very sorry for the lost opportunity to tell a good story. I guess the journey is beyond salvation now.
