The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power reaches Season 2 with a simple proposition: more Action / Adventure, more complications, and very little interest in a quiet life. Here, things explode, plans go sideways, and sensible risk assessment has apparently taken the afternoon off. The rating says it has enough going for it to justify a look, provided the premise is your kind of trouble. Existing fans will know exactly what they signed up for, while newcomers should probably start earlier unless confusion is part of the entertainment.
