Lavishly made, endlessly beautiful to watch and substantive enough to make you care, this is fantasy at its absolute highest level. It builds on the promise of that Season 1 finale to deliver truly epic adventure. Read full review

Remains a worthy backstory complement to Peter Jackson’s Oscar-winning cinematic trilogy. Read full review

If you enjoyed what you saw in 2022, these eight episodes will, much like magical rings, really get their hooks in you. Five seasons are planned, and I, for one, want to see them all. Read full review

While many of The Rings of Power's best qualities remain front and center in Season 2, so too do some of its greatest weaknesses.

It's all still frequently irritating but that could be my personal problem with the priggish, snooty elves – must they or-aaa-te as if every line of dialogue were inscribed on stained glass? That aside, this second outing is a marked improvement. Read full review

Season 2 of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power does a great job portraying Sauron’s machinations and his impact on those he manipulates, but too much time is spent on disconnected subplots delivering only mediocre intrigue and thin characters. Read full review

Unfortunately, all that promise [in season one] has been utterly wasted on the confusing, directionless and emotionally bankrupt second season of "Rings of Power." Read full review
