What to Know

Critics Consensus

The Rings of Power's central mystery is finally answered in "Alloyed," a finale that is by turns sumptuous and staid while hinting at a more propulsive story to come.

Steve Greene IndieWire Oct 18, 2022
That handshake between adaptations and source material, coupled with the way that director Wayne Che Yip helps bring to life those quasi-dream sequences, is a key middle ground that the show can take advantage of going forward. Go to Full Review Brian Lowry CNN.com Oct 14, 2022
At 70-plus minutes, it mirrored the season as a whole: Pretty, with a few visually striking moments, but slow and bloated. Go to Full Review Roxana Hadadi New York Magazine/Vulture Oct 14, 2022
4/5
The story here indulges in Tolkien lore, and in delivering moments that connect these characters to the ones we know from the novels and Peter Jackson’s films, and in slightly narrowing the focus of this very wide cast of characters for season two. Go to Full Review Russell Holly CNET Apr 5, 2023
...hey, season 2 has started filming, so there's plenty of time for this great show to get even better. Go to Full Review Austin Gilkeson The New York Review of Books Jan 27, 2023
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. Go to Full Review Stephen A. Russell Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Oct 28, 2022
The showrunners didn’t always make the brightest moves, with occasionally clunky dialogue and plotting. A hilariously rushed denouement also stole some thunder from Sauron’s diabolical plan... And yet it... set up a mighty battle to come. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
