Did you watch Amazon Prime’s Rings of Power?
No, me neither. But I have seen several reviews on YouTube and…wow!
The reviewers’ major criticism concerns what the writers have done with Galadriel. I understand it though their reason is beyond me: they’ve made her a psychopath. Either that or she is displaying a very high degree of cognitive dissonance.

They say cognitive dissonance can drive you crazy…
What a unique response to the prompt. So, will you be watching Rings of Power?

I have binge-watched the reviews of Season One… which more or less encompasses it. I’m intrigued to see if the writers can pull it out of the terrible response it has had… but that’s the writer in me 🙂

I agree with Deanna; what a unique response to the prompt!! Also, enquiring minds what to know? Do you base your viewing choices on critics or do you eschew what they have to say and watch that which interests you and to which you will come to your own conclusions? 😉

I never allow reviews to sway me. If I want to watch, I’ll watch. But I did watch their clips and I had to agree with them. But as I said to Deanna, I’m now curious of whether they can make good of such a bad start.

I’m the same. And yes, I’ll watch a clip which might intrigue me. If that is the case, then I care not what the critics say!
As for this series, for some strange reason, I am not interested.

You haven’t missed anything. Apparently only 33% of those who watched Ep 1 went on to watch it all. Says something doesn’t it. Woke doesn’t work.

I’ve always got my head into YouTube, and I came across the reviews. After the first 2 I binge-watched. I learned a lot that I could apply to my own writing.
