I think we all remember when our HS English teachers taught us that the first few paragraphs of any composition (same lesson applies to film) must grab the readers by the throat.
"Rings" handed me a nice cup of Sleepy Time tea.
Same.
It’s so boring!!
I watched the first 15 minutes of Amazon’s “Rings.” Without intending to, I fell asleep and had a really restful nap.

Ha ha! I had the same reaction. The show is excellent if one is suffering from insomnia.
To top if off, some of the casting and acting is just dreadful, including one of the main characters playing Galadriel.
In the original Peter Jackson LOTR trilogy, Galadriel was perfectly portrayed. The actress was able to convey a sense of great power simply with her facial expression. The ROP/Amazon Galadriel by contract comes across more like a prototypical Karen. Zero likability.
