      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      The scenery is gorgeous as ever and the nods to Tolkien lore still dense, but The Rings of Power's momentum feels stuck as a Hardfoot's caravan in the mud.

      Christian Holub Entertainment Weekly Welcome back to Middle-earth, where people love to burst out into song — especially when they're traversing wild nature. Rated: B Sep 30, 2022 Full Review Alison Stine Salon.com As the Hobbit Merry says, "You can trust us to stick with you through thick and thin -- to the bitter end." That's not always a luxury given to female characters. But so far all of us, even women, we've got a friend in "The Rings of Power." Sep 26, 2022 Full Review Kevin EG Perry Independent (UK) An original creation for The Rings of Power, it’s a stirring tribute to leaving behind the comforts of hearth and home to explore the unknown. Rated: 3/5 Sep 23, 2022 Full Review Russell Holly CNET It's possible the whole storyline about healing the Elves turns out to be a head fake, but even without it, the attempt at creating a mythical origin for the ore doesn't sit right with me. 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 An episode that doesn't neglect any of the open plots, that shines again in its enormous formal approach, and that has made me fall back in love with Galadriel, who has become the greatest television hero of the year on her own merits. Rated: 7/10 Oct 20, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
