For me, it was The Walking Dead. It obviously suffered seriously quality decline over its run - but because it was so long, I could’ve instead watched so many other shows instead.

Rings of power is shit, but it’s also explicitly not based on the Silmarillion. It’s only using the appendices of the trilogy.
I thought it was supposed to be partially based on the The Silmarillion. Either way, from the first episode alone, it was pretty clear that the show would be shit.
I believe that was the goal, but there was a rights dispute and they didn’t get access to it.
Hopefully someone else will get the rights to it and either make a more respectful adaption or go with a crazy creative take. E.g. a re-interpretation of The Silmarillion set in prohibition era US with gangsters or during the Russian revolution with the Greens fighting both commies “orcs” and the pro-Monarchy “goblins” (doesn’t have to be literal).
