The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power

It turned out that the Orcs under the command of the foreman Adar all this time were not laying the subway, but the water supply.
The infrastructure project was developed by a competent designer, the volcano took off on credit.

I think no one believed in the possibility of Galadriel's transition to the dark side, but there were nice moments in this line, too.

It's quite funny how, disowning Jackson's trilogy, showrunners directly borrow many visual solutions from it (especially in terms of camerawork).

Well, if we talk about the visual, then it is quite strange. In some places, the series looks just great, and in some places it resembles the flirting of VFX beginners with chromakey, which looks very cheap.

The battle scene with the troll is staged very mediocre, I hope it will be better in the future.

The soundtrack is very decent. And it seems that only he is associated with Middle-earth and creates an atmosphere.

Regarding the story, characters and script, it is difficult to say anything about one episode yet, but one thing is for sure - the dialogues are poorly written. And it's hard to listen to this graphomaniac nonsense in places.

As if there are not enough bad dialogues, so the actors are not happy either. The actress playing Galadriel seems incapable of acting at all. It is noticeable how she is straining to give out at least some emotion, but all she gets is a discontentedly haughty face, over which tears are about to flow.

Well, the Elves caught my eye most of all. From intelligent, sophisticated, polite, wise and eternal beings, they turned into a company from the nearest pub. In Jackson's trilogy, the Elves differed from everyone else not only in appearance: their speech was calm and concise; their movements were graceful and graceful; their facial expressions were restrained.

In general, while all this looks like a generic fantasy of very dubious quality or another proof that no money can replace talent.

Well, I'm waiting for my minuses, because on MyShows you can't criticize TV shows - only praise.

@Netis: At the very end, he said "Always rely on your nose" - an obvious reference to the Brotherhood of the Ring, when Gandalf found his way to Moria with the same phrase

Numenor turned out to be insanely beautiful.
