The Rings of Power feels even more grandiose in its second season .

The first season was a spectacular piece of storytelling that took details from Tolkien ’s appendices.

The show has the space to dig into its many subplots and delve deeper into the minds of its characters.

The Rings of Power has always been an experiment in bringing Tolkien ’s ancillary footnotes alive and using them to add texture to an iconic myth.

The show succeeds on that front even though it sometimes tries to do a bit too much with all of its interweaving threads in just eight episodes.

Season 2 shows off its expensiveness with a surprisingly large number of action-focused set pieces.
