Two eps from finishing ROP and finding it extraordinarily difficult. Nothing "bad" just trite and tired dialogue and character arcs mixed in with beautiful actors and scenery.

I saw some fascinating comments from you guys about it- especially the LOTR lore fanatics- I want to know what ROP does wrong lore-wise and want to watch a vid on it- but I don't want to search it through conventional channels cause there's a high likelihood the vid will spend 80% complaining about black and female representation.

Basically- where's the lore complaints vid that isn't :debate-me-debate-me: bonus points if they discuss the apparently mormon creatives spin on the lore.

    I kinda wanted to get through this show. Its very very pretty, and I love the inclusivity, but its just so dull. I also don't like the "here's like 4 unrelated stories" style of storytelling because it makes it feel like nothing is going anywhere for soooooo long.

      The key is to have the different characters in conflict with each other, which is why something like GoT succeeds while RoP fails.
