Nothing seems planned. It's like they wake up each filming day and have to write the script right then and there.
What should be explained isn't. And what doesn't need an explanation gets one. And it miraculously makes it worse than it already was (which I thought wasn't possible).
Whatever little "suspense" there is, is based on things we know will not happen. Characters we know cannot die. Or rings "disappearing" that we know will turn up, and given to exactly the character which they try to depict as undeserving. A character being turned away when we know he'll have to be brought in.
The dialogue is as atrocious as it was in the first season, like how children would speak while larping as medieval nobles.
The costumes. "Gaudy gold and shiny means status". That's it. A trailer park idea of sophistication. Zero identity or vision.
And because everyone seems to constantly run into others by accident, or get intercepted by teleporting people, the world seems very small. The opposite of Tolkien.

This isn't the worst adaption ever (far from it), but neither is it amazing as a standalone piece of entertainment.
It's just bland. And unimaginative.
Terrible fightscenes. Possibly the worst fight scenes I've seen to date. Apparently we have Steve Battaglia to thank for them, who also made the worst John Wick and Expendable movie fight scenes.
Characters are okay. Side characters are kinda funny, sometimes.
Dialogue is fine, leagues ahead of anything Netflix generally makes (I have no idea why theirs is uniquely bad).
Comedic theme works well with the over the top violence and gore.
I'm not a huge fan of the Bethesda Fallout games but they managed to water down their already watered down take of the original IP.
Not that that is it's worst quality - that is easily the lack of pressing (character) stakes.
Only worth your time if you're really bored.
