I enjoy The Rings of Power. I am impressed with how well the showrunners are navigating the convoluted, disjointed nature of the Silmarillion, which is what RoP is based on. Between Tolkien’s love for giving characters multiple names (Melkor = Morgoth for example). Tolkien loved to increase his lore by adding bits of previously-written poems/themes/names, reusing character names from his then-unpublished Silmarillion while creating LOTR, and then sometimes added an explanation to show why it would be the same character (Glorfindel) or another one (Legolas). It is all very detailed but also very convoluted. To take all of that lore and put it into a series is quite the feat.
