Just wrapped up the Amazon LOTR series: The Rings of Power. Pretty inconsistent quality and pacing, and some points in the first couple of episodes that made me ask why I'm watching it, but it builds really well to several different climaxes at the end of the season. To me, it was worth it, but it does have a slight Xena: Warrior Princess vibe at times. Still good enough to recommend it to anyone who really is into the LOTR world. Those that are only casual fans may not appreciate it as much.
One thing I noticed more is a distinct horror/gore component that wasn't present as much in the films. There really is some gruesome and graphic stuff at times.
