Part 9/12:
Ratings for The Rings of Power have plummeted, with the show reportedly rating around 3.3 stars on some platforms—a figure suspected to be heavily manipulated. Amazon’s reluctance to release transparent viewing figures and the removal of critical reviews suggest an effort to conceal its struggles. Mainstream media coverage has shifted to downplay the show's failure, claiming that nobody’s talking about it and that it’s not culturally significant—an obvious attempt at damage control.
