Honestly, I couldn't have more praise for <em>The Rings of Power </em>season 2 after the finale. This was the first episode of the series where I had zero complaints or nitpicks, and I'm just thrilled at how well everything came together. Sauron and Celebrimbor's story, which I found to be the most consistently strong all season, was perfectly brutal in the end. Adar being betrayed by the orcs was shockingly devastating, everything with Gandalf was terrific, and all of the elf characters, particularly Galadriel and Gil-galad, feel perfectly fantastical. I can't wait for more.
