I saw a headline after a headline slamming The Rings of Power season 2 before it had even begun, and yet I thought the first episodes were pretty good. I don't know if I'm totally out of sync with things, or something else is going on!

It seems they're teasing the audience with the idea that Saruman is this dark wizard in Rhun, and that's just going off his looks. I don't think he is? I don't remember if there are any other wizards other than the five Istari.

By taking the story to Rhun, the showrunners probably have a lot more room to explore and freedom to do what they want.
