The backlog files: Lord Of The Rings - The Rings Of Power season 2. 8/10
Not gone too deep into the backlog for this. Yes the pacing can be slow but the set pieces and foreshadowing is superb especially for dyed in the wool Ringers (note I dont say Tolkiendil, because this show is not remotely faithful to his writings outside the Jackson trilogies).
The scene with Durin III and the Balrog particularly stands out. While the personification of Sauron is very well done imo.
