Review

Louise Griffin

The previous two seasons of this Lord of the Rings prequel proved divisive, to say the least, drawing criticism for everything from poor writing to an unfaithful treatment of JRR Tolkien’s lore. This third instalment offers something of a reset, jumping five years into the future to find Middle-earth engulfed in a devastating war with Sauron (Charlie Vickers).

You’ll find significantly improved storytelling (not least a sorely needed evolution for Daniel Weyman’s Gandalf), plus a host of new characters, including elf lord Celeborn (Jamie Campbell Bower), orc Marnûkh (Adam Young) and cunning dwarf Thrain (Eddie Marsan).
