The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power became a popular series on Amazon, regardless of what many fans think of it. The show has, as we have repeatedly reported, been renewed for a second season, which will debut with eight episodes tomorrow, on August 29, 2024. It will be intriguing to see how everything plays out, especially in light of the showrunners’ recent announcements, which we have reported on.
The second season will have a rocky start, as the fans weren’t all that amazed with the first season, which was a success among the criticis, so the series will have high expectations to meet. Based on the trailers and the information we have, the season could – indeed- satisfy everyone, but we’ll have to wait and see.
In light of that fact, we can confirm that the initial critics’ reactions are in and we are happy to report that the critics are more or less satisfied with the season and that it received solid marks, which is definitely a good sign, especially in light of the fact that it has already been Certified Fresh!
We have been feeding you information on the upcoming season, teasing what is to come and what you can expect, and now it is time to see what the critics have said. Here are the first reactions that led to the series receiving a Certified Fresh rating before the season even began:
…Even so, there are some great new additions (Bombadil), and Sauron’s backstory is… quite something (Venom fans are in for a treat). Also, the Siege of Eregion is a truly epic battle to rival Helm’s Deep (seriously).

The overloaded Rings of Power season 2 isn’t perfect, but the Sauron-centric season is a bleak, oppressive ode to Middle-earth’s rich characters and world.
