House of Dragons was
better to follow.

Rings Of Power
I watched a few episodes
and something was wrong
it did not work well.

So I gave up.

Fair enough.

And tbf Rings Of Power isn't a perfect Show by any means, but personally I just appreciate a Show that actually embraces it's Fantasy genre to the max, and has a plot that's a grade above basic.

Like for me I'm sick to death of Shows like HOTD, Vinland Saga, Blade Of The Immortal & Chainsaw Man where they all come out with really basic plotting that's really easy to follow and think that they're edgy because they either splatter blood everywhere because it looks cool, or there's shipping in the Show to the max.

Tbf I will try to give HOTD a bit more time just to see if anything plot wise actually holds up, but so far I honestly feel like watching Downton Abbey would be better, at least it's intended to be a more basic structured Period Drama.

And I just want to clarify I do like edgy Shows when I feel like they're done well.

And to be a bit more balanced tbf, yes Rings Of Power could do with a bit more action in the Show (after all it is a LOTR prequel) but I do feel like HOTD also has pacing issues, to the point where the plot is there but barely developed imo.

But HOTD aside, I do feel like ROP could do with a slight increase in Action scenes, and I imagine from a shipping perspective the Show could try to add a bit more in that area for Season 2, but on my personal preference I'm actually happy with the level it's currently at, but I could see it being an issue for some viewers.

Other than those flaws though I'm happy with the Show, which I don't say that very often about American TV Shows these days.
