Rings of Power Episode 4 Breakdown + Review
Rings of Power Episode 4 - So I first thought about ceasing watching #ringsofpower after two episodes but I heard from some people I knew that Episode 4 gets much better than the previous ones.

Of course we got to see #Númenor for the first time! And Númenor looks like #middleearth in my opinion. Of course ...
