The Rings of Power season 2 recap: an eagle coup

Episode 3 takes us to Númenor—for the first time in season 2—where the seat of power is shifting.

In episode 2, Sauron hangs around at the door and characters shout lore at you instead of talking like people.

Episode 1 gives us even more Sauron backstory and wastes the opening hour on some thunderingly boring series of events.

In episode 10, Chief Minister Madhuri Yadav makes big moves and resets Mirzapur’s status quo.

In episode 9, Guddu’s self-combustion paves the way for Sharad Shukla’s rise to the top.

In season 2 episode 4, peace is no longer an option and three dragons collide in battle.

In episode 8, death drives Guddu into irredeemable territory.

In episode 7, the world closes in on Chhote as he can’t take his eyes away from Golu.

In episode 6, it’s all about giving in to the dark side.

In episode 5, Chhote’s trap and Beena’s scheming threaten to destabilise Guddu’s empire for good.
