Amazon has just released its Lord of the Rings show, and I have to say, I am addicted. I am not the biggest fan of the series, I haven’t read the book and have only watched the Hobbit, but this show definitely sparked my curiosity. I am living proof that you don’t need extensive knowledge of the lore to enjoy this show, but having the wiki open might help you get a deeper understanding of what is going on. If you are intimidated to get into Lord of the Rings, don’t be. It is a very in-depth fantasy, but it is well done.
This is a prequel to the series as it details the events that led up to how they crafted the rings. So far there are only two episodes out for the series with new episodes coming out weekly. The acting is fantastic, the story is interesting, and the setting is beautiful. The first two episodes do a great job at introducing the different factions, setting up the world, and getting you hooked for more. They spent a lot of money producing this show, and it shows. My only complaint is that I have to wait another week to see what happens next.
If you are patient, hop on this show immediately. If you aren’t, wait till it is all out. I am definitely excited to see where this series will go.

It’s interesting to read your review, as I’m a first four books Tolkien nerd and my wife only watched the movies once. She mostly echoes your thoughts.

Thanks for reading! I plan to one day read the books, I didn’t really get into LOTRs until I watched the Hobbit movies so I’ve been making my way around slowly.

I’m excited about this series! My husband and I were debating whether to start Rings of Power or the new GoT prequel. On the day we had said debate, RoP hadn’t yet debuted. So we decided to start rewatching GoT to prepare for the House of Dragons series (or whatever it’s called). By the time we get thru all that, all RoP episodes should be out. I think we should be good on tv through the rest of 2022 đŸ˜‚

That’s a very good plan and the perfect way to end the year. I am very excited for RoP and I am going to try very hard to get my wife to watch it with me. Thanks for reading!
