      Christian Holub Entertainment Weekly I guess I should have guessed that Galadriel's sea journey would eventually see her cross paths with the legendary island kingdom, but that's what I get for taking everything one step at a time. Rated: B+ Sep 19, 2022 Full Review Chris Barsanti Slant Magazine The series is a feat of logistics and scene-setting rather than narrative design. Rated: 2.5/4 Sep 16, 2022 Full Review Kevin EG Perry Independent (UK) The true identity of Adar is just one of the intriguing mysteries thrown up by this latest instalment of Amazon’s JRR Tolkien-inspired fantasy epic. Rated: 3/5 Sep 9, 2022 Full Review Russell Holly CNET Nomvete's beautiful intensity fills every scene she's in, the squishy vulnerable core under Durin's rigid exterior and the fantastic demonstration of the many conflicts within Elrond are each uniquely compelling... Apr 5, 2023 Full Review Austin Gilkeson The New York Review of Books Tolkien's "machine for the evocation of scholarly frisson" has been turned into an assembly line. The goal is to keep the machine running for as long as it is profitable, with no natural end in sight. Jan 27, 2023 Full Review Víctor López G. Espinof Director Wayne Che Yip has kept intact the essence of what has been presented so far, giving us another hour of top quality television that, once again, shows off its huge budget.
