I’ve thoroughly enjoyed #RingsOfPower. Here’s why:
Tolkien’s stories are primarily about Wisdom, not War. Courage & hope aren’t given, but learned & cultivated. The humble prevail by guiding each other’s hearts with wisdom. Truth paves way for goodness. This show gets this.

War exists on Middle-Earth — & it often seems central— but it’s dreaded, avoided, & always rooted in foolishness. This is why this isn’t an Epic War show. It’s a book of wisdom on screen. It’s unique right now as a story that uses actions AND words to elevate goodness over power.
Tolkien was able to write an epic tale in a trilogy (LOTR), 1x book (Hobbit), or even 1x chapter (Appendixes, Silmarillion, etc). How? Because he knew the essentials of a wisdom adventure. We don’t just want a “good guy/girl” to win. We want “goodness” itself to win. Truth works.
