Nope. Another click bait rage garbage article, from no less than Forbes, the shittiest cesspool of shitty shit on the internet.
The show is fine. Looks amazing, sounds incredible, full of wonderful performances and nuanced characters with interesting takes on adapting an incredibly complex source material. I'll take it over 90% of "prestige" dramas about rich families and murder procedurals any day.
Even if it's not your particular bag, it doesn't deserve anywhere near the level of vitriol leveled at it by people desperate to drive clicks to their mediocre blog or reaction channel.
TheOneRing.net had an incisive take on this recently that I think everyone ought to read. https://www.theonering.net/torwp/2024/09/06/119303-dont-kill-content-no-one-needs-your-hot-take/
Yeah I feel like rings of power is just a hatewagon everywhere. I've been really impressed with the sets and costumes in both seasons. They are a beautiful treat. And while I'm not terribly interested in the characters or story it's good watching just for that.
