Five episodes in. I have a lot to say, but I love it so far.

There’s some pacing issues, I think due to the writers strike. Though the manipulation of Saruan/Annatar is incredibly done. Celebrimbor slowly falling into madness, ugh I just feel so bad for the guy. He’s being expertly played.

Elrond’s distrust of the rings… that poor guy can’t catch a break 😂

The downfall of Numenor is being set up nicely, especially in this most recent episode.

Also the way the rings are portrayed with the dwarves fits well with the interpretation from The Hobbit.
