The Rings of Power season 3 is finally here – and it has debuted to a Rotten Tomatoes score that is solid, but lower than the previous two installments.
This season of the Lord of the Rings TV show revolves around Sauron and his quest for the One Ring, while the Elves continue to struggle against him.
The show has debuted to a score of 79% on Rotten Tomatoes, which, while very decent, is lower than season 2's 85% and season 1's 84%. But, season 3 so far only has 29 reviews counted on the site compared to season 2's 173 and season 1's 487.
Our own The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power season 3 review awarded the show 3.5 stars, with our verdict reading: "With Sauron's terrible might threatening Middle-earth and the forging of the One Ring at hand, The Rings of Power season 3 is a dark, thrilling installment – but one still mired in dense, dragging subplots."
The Rings of Power is set to run for five seasons on Prime Video, which means there are still two seasons remaining. The show is set in the Second Age, long before the events of the Peter Jackson movies, and will take us up to the events of the Fellowship of the Ring prologue.
You can stream four episodes on Prime Video now, and keep up to date with the rest with our The Rings of Power season 3 release schedule. For more, see our roundup of all the other most exciting upcoming TV shows.
