Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power 1x1 "A Shadow of the Past" and 1x2...

    THE RINGS OF POWER is fine, specifically 1x1 "A Shadow of the Past" and 1x2 "Adrift", are fine. This is something that I feel is both damning as well as an argument against all the criticism the...

House of the Dragon 1x5 "We Light the Way" review

    In a very real sense, "We Light the Way" is the end of Season One of House of the Dragon and in a more just world where HBO had more faith in the series then it would have been Episode 10 rather...
