Episode 359: The Rings of Power (Season 2)

Eric and Maddy cover one of the more controversy inducing shows in recent memory. Does this show have anything compelling to say? Is it good? Is it bad? or does it commit the worst story telling sin: being boring?  Wherever you land on these questions there are still many themes to receive and redeem and a good reminder that there is a wind that will carry believers far beyond the reaches of the enemy and the enemy can never follow.
