REVIEW: The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power – Season 1, Episode 5, “Partings”
Jed | Hollywood Scholar | Sep 23, 2022 | 0
Five episodes into The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power and only a single thing is clear: The CIA no longer needs to resort to waterboarding anyone; they merely need to force them to watch this abysmal show, which is tantamount to torture, and no hardened criminal or terrorist will resist divul...

In 2021, Arcane became one of the best TV shows I’ve ever seen, and for me, it came out of nowhere. This League of Legends adaptation sports gorgeous animation, a versatile, star-studded soundtrack, and some of the best-realized characters you can find on TV. I didn’t know anything about League ...
