I watched five episodes of the season 2 and episodes have failed to build the strong characters. Celebrimbor acts like he is stupid creator of the rings with no trick up his sleeve or lack of ambition. Númenor is under leadership chaos but, director is interested in showing petty fights. No real strategy for the flight to the Adar. At least season 1 was better with Galadriel’s ambition to find Sauron and make allies to fight in south.
