BONUS - The Rings of Power Pre-Season 1 Finale Check-In

In this bonus episode of The Cast Beyond the Wall, host Caleb Masters is rejoined by guest Chad Parizman to check in on how well The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power has maintained its momentum since we initially covered the first two episodes earlier this year.

After learning more about Chad's previous relationship with Middle Earth, we discuss what the first season has done well, where it's struggled to captivate audiences the same way as Jackson's trilogy, and what the series could do in the future.

Today’s podcast topics include:

• What makes the story compelling, yet, the pacing a challenge
• Which characters and stories have been the highlight so far
• Whether or not the series jumped the shark at episode 7
• Is Halbrand who he says he is?
• But seriously, who is the stranger?

According to the IMDB synopsis, Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is described as:

“Epic drama set thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien's 'The Hobbit' and 'The Lord of the Rings' follows an ensemble cast of characters, both familiar and new, as they confront the long-feared re-emergence of evil to Middle-earth.”
