Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The title of the series is “RIngs of Power.” The elf who made the 3-Elven rings of power was Celebrimbor. Here is a character who was a Prince of the Noldor, a brave warrior, a ruler, the greatest of the elven craftsmen and tragically flawed. He was deceived by Sauron when wiser elves like Elrond and Galadriel were not and with Sauron made the 9 and 7-rings of power. Then, secretly and separately Celebrimbor forged the 3-Elven rings and Sauron “The One.” When this is discovered, Sauron and the Elves go to war. Celebrimbor pays for his arrogance and is captured and tortured but never reveals the 3-rings and finally dies. Numenor comes to the rescue and Sauron is pushed back into Mordor. End season 1. Season 2: Sauron has his revenge on Numenor. How hard is it really to take that brief summary and write something compelling, develop some characters, build some relationships. By the second age Galadriel is several thousand years old and is the same Galadriel you see in the LOR. She is married and has a daughter. Pivotal to her story is she was born in the light of the trees. Elrond is much younger than Galadriel and marries her daughter resulting in Arwen. Gil-Galad is one of wisest and most powerful elves to exist in Middle Earth and was not deceived by Sauron and ultimately destroys him and dies doing so. Gandalf does not come to Middle Earth until the Third Age. This should of been the story of Celebrimbor. If Eva Ilúvatar watched this series, he would sink the entirety of Middle Earth into the ocean and tell the Valar to try again.
