Early reactions praise 'The Rings of Power' season 3

Screen Rant shared reactions praising the first two episodes, including one calling them “bangers” and another calling the season’s start some of the series’ best work. MovieWeb says critics are calling season 3 the show’s best and one of the year’s best TV shows. It also describes a five-year time jump and full-scale war ahead of a November 11, 2026, premiere on Prime Video. A separate quote-post dismissed the praise.
