Mallory Rubin:对第二季开篇三集持积极态度,认为剧集在人物背景故事和重要场景上投入了大量时间,但亚马逊的剧集发布策略(先放出三集再周更)并非她最喜欢的。她高度评价了剧集开篇萨鲁曼的回忆闪回,认为其展现了剧集对重要场景和人物背景故事的投入。她还对萨鲁曼在剧集开篇的形象表示赞赏,认为其邪恶而令人印象深刻。在林顿的情节中,她认为剧集节奏较慢,与第一季的事件之间存在脱节,并对伽拉德丽尔获得一枚力量之戒的举动表示费解。在卡扎杜姆的情节中,她认为该部分是剧集中最精彩的部分,因为其情感强度和幽默感。在努曼诺尔的情节中,她认为该部分虽然有趣,但其节奏和叙事方面存在一些不一致之处。她对阿达尔的新形象表示赞赏,并认为其外形具有吸引力。她高度评价了巴拉克在第三集中的戏份,认为其与伊希尔杜尔之间的感情令人动容。对凯莱布理鹏和萨鲁曼之间的互动评价很高,认为查尔斯·爱德华兹的表演非常出色。对鲁恩的情节表示期待,认为该地为编剧提供了创作新背景故事的空间。对剧中出现的黑暗巫师身份表示推测,认为其可能是托尔金作品中未命名的两位蓝色巫师。 Joanna Robisnon:对第二季前三集在某些故事情节上令人兴奋,但在其他方面褒贬不一,并且注意到本季的暴力和恐怖元素可能不适合所有家庭观众。剧集开篇的闪回对不熟悉时间线观众来说可能有些令人困惑,但其目的是为了展现萨鲁曼的转变和塑造。在林顿的情节中,她认为剧集节奏较慢,而且与第一季的事件之间存在脱节。埃尔隆德和凯兰之间的对话揭示了他们对黑暗和光明之间复杂关系的理解。吉尔加拉德国王在剧中演唱昆雅语歌曲的场景令人印象深刻。伽拉德丽尔获得一枚力量之戒的举动令人费解,剧中角色对此也没有做出充分的解释。在卡扎杜姆的情节中,她认为杜林对埃尔隆德的反复提及突显了他们之间深厚的友谊。在努曼诺尔的情节中,她认为艾伦迪尔对米丽尔的感情和对努曼诺尔政治局势的担忧。对萨姆·哈泽尔·迪恩饰演的新版阿达尔表示赞赏,并认为其外形具有吸引力。对西奥在第三集中的表现评价较高,认为其情感表达真实可信。对鲁恩的情节表示期待,认为该地为编剧提供了创作新背景故事的空间。对剧中出现的黑暗巫师身份表示推测,认为其可能是托尔金作品中未命名的两位蓝色巫师。
