Despite this, the series is beginner-friendly, and new watchers will find it easy to get immersed into The Rings of Power, which has already gotten an 83% on Rotten Tomatoes, and has been praised by movie critics.
Episodes will air on Fridays at 9am on Amazon Prime, which is available in Singapore.

Tolkien and enjoy your fantastical trip into Middle Earth.
