"It's also a psychological thriller," Payne adds of the season's arc. Sauron is forced to take new form now that Galadriel has warned her allies not to trust Halbrand. He transforms into Annatar, the Lord of Gifts, to combat this, a guise Vickers says is specially designed to lure in Celebrimbor (Charles Edwards). Annatar manipulates the master craftsman into making rings for Dwarves and Men, an act that will make "Celebrimbor descend into madness and Eregion hurtle towards potential destruction," Payne reveals
Lmao, a "psychological thriller"
Galadriel and Sauron share the deepest connection to another being either of them has ever experienced, a fact that haunts them both in the new episodes. What they share "is greater than romance," Vickers explains. "Their connection runs far deeper than anything surface level."

As a Tolkien adaptation? Heck, no.
As generic TV fantasy show? It's meh. Some good bits, but as most of the criticism says, they waste too much time doing nothing and going nowhere. For all the alleged huge budget, the costumes look cheap. Too much "oh this is so deep and meaningful" dialogue which is anything but deep and meaningful, and the first season really fell down on making Galadriel this insufferable girlboss who was always right and always knew better than the stupid weak idiot men.
I'll be watching the second season, but mainly to see "and how did they frick it up this time?" because they're screwing around with the plot so much, they write themselves into a corner and then have to try and make something up to get out of it. Like with Annatar - Payne and McKay didn't want him in the first season, because 'the people who read the books will know who he is and that means no mystery", so they invented the character of Halbrand. Who everybody guessed anyway was Sauron within an episode or two, because they couldn't resist the temptation to keep dropping hints that "This guy is Sauron, tee-hee!" Then they realised "Oh shit, we need Annatar to make the seven and the nine rings", so they had to introduce him, but since they already set up Halbrand = Sauron, they have to do it this stupid way: Halbrand in a bad wig and fake ears and the Elves don't recognise this guy.

It depends, do you enjoy hate-watching to discuss with dramatards or the folx at /tv/?
Dragonshit Season 2 was terrible. Alicent went from wanting to snatch the eye of Rhaenyra's bastard in retribution for her son to selling out her sons and asking Rhaenyra to leave everything with her. Cringe lesbian fan-fic.
