Despite its record-breaking debut on Prime Video, aka one of the best streaming services in the world, The rings of power Season 1 was not viewed favorably by everyone. The series was watched by over 100 million people worldwide but, based on its unimpressive 38% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, viewers weren't completely enamored with its first eight-episode installment. In fact, many people felt that it did a disservice to Middle-earth lore and other aspects of Tolkien's source material. However, with the first trailer for season two suggesting it will be more faithful to the legendary British author's literary works, the creators of The Rings of Power appear to have learned some valuable lessons from the less popular elements of season 1.
