The most expensive show in TV history, the “Lord of the Rings” prequel has a major creative glow-up in Season 2. From storytelling to visuals, Middle Earth > Westeros.
Both shows have their faults. I watch both, Ring for the production value and House for the better writing.
House really dragged on in most of season 2 but ended good. Season 1 of Ring fell on it's face with the whole "twist" ending that could only have surprised a Labrador with ADHD.
I liked it better than most did. It was okay enough, but it was buildup with no payoff. I don't generally accept edging from my TV series, but I knew this one was coming back for a second season.
