The writing is bad. The plot is nonsense. I don't care, because it's entertaining and it looks neat. I don't take it seriously as Tolkien canon, but I will always queue up to watch.
It aired against House of the Dragon which really shower it's mediocre writing. I'm a huge Tolkien fan and generally sceptical of most franchises but honestly I think in a vacuum, the show is fine.
Compare it to Witcher, even season 1 which is fine is probably on par or worse than Rings of Power, it's just that LotR is a strong franchise and it was easier to compare to multiple better competitors.
