The Lord of The Rings: The Rings of Power

^
I sort of agree in the sense that there does appear to be quite a lot of plot lines going on. As some mentioned about the first season regarding the pacing and as some critics have also mentioned this that I've read online, but also again, so far I've not found it too much of an offput to distance myself from watching what is to follow in the coming episodes.

I don't find the multiple plot lines hard to follow and I don't find them intrusive to the evolving story, but agree that there is a lot going on. The Villain is a bit non Villain like in a way, if that makes any sense lol.

Whereas the first season focused quite a lot on the characters of Galadriel and Elrond, the start of this season has seemingly left them on the sidelines somewhat, which is a shame.

I'll continue to watch this no doubt and I guess, I'll make a proper analysis of this season when it finishes.
