Friends, LOTRiens and readers, this review is not going to nitpick over the faithfulness of The Lords Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power (henceforth, just Rings) to the words of JRR Tolkien. (We'd be here all year, and it is a task quite beyond my shallow knowledge of the good professor's works.)

No, I will just focus on how watching Rings made me feel, after being left spellbound by Peter Jackson's magnificent trilogy (not so much, the overblown Hobbit adaptation) two decades earlier.
