Come for the two hour review of Rings of Power by a guy who has elvish on his wedding ring, stay for the Hbomberguy style twist into discussion of the way the far right uses the appearance of media criticism to radicalize vunrable young men and draw them into the manosphere.
Honestly, the show can get by on looks alone for me. IMHO, it is the best-looking TV show ever made, by a significant margin.
Which is not to say I didn’t enjoy other parts of the show. The music was good, the acting was good, I loved the Harfoots (Harfeet?) in general, I loved Elrond and Durin. A lot of the side characters were charming. The opening sequence was inspired.
I think they missed the mark a bit with the “mystery” elements, though, and if they want me to give a shit about Kemen and Eärien, they’re going to need to try harder in S2. But I thoroughly enjoyed season 1 and I hope they stay the course in general.

This is why one might theoretically prefer to download videos through unofficial channels, even if they are already paying for them through official channels.
Totally theoretical, of course. Just a little thought exercise.
