As part of our Thanksgiving Day, my husband and I watched the Season 1 finale of Rings of Power. Even when shows drop all their episodes at once and we could binge them, we tend to watch just one or two at a time. We both grew up in the age of broadcast only television, when there was just one episode at a time and no replays. Weird, I know. But I I enjoy having think time between episodes. There’s a kind of anticipation that you don’t get with binge watching.
So how was it? There are too many spoilers to dance around here, but I’ll just say the writers didn’t disappoint me. The main plots weren’t resolved, but they came to appropriate points of rest. There were twists and revelations, especially around the identity of the mysterious “big’un” rescued by the Harfoots. As with any great drama, a main character’s mistaken assumptions play a huge role.
The finale opens new horizons for where the plot may go next, not in an arbitrary way but through organic development. I hope there will be a next season for this show, and that the current staff of writers and directors will be there for it.

Considering that, for weeks, I haven’t watched a television program when I wasn’t either eating a meal, exercising, or taking notes, I don’t binge watch either.
“As with any great drama, a main character’s mistaken assumptions play a huge role.”
For some reason, in spite of writing reviews and fiction professionally, I don’t know that has ever occurred to me. I’m going to have to give that some thought.
I haven’t seen Rings of Power, but it does sound like a fun series.
