The RT score for ROP is 85% for critical reviews and 39% for audience score. Wanted to see what these reviewers were saying. So if you go to this page it only shows one review, if you click it, it sends you to a page in Spanish with multiple reviews on it and its very confusing.

https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/the_lord_of_the_rings_the_rings_of_power/s01

If you click "View all critical reviews (466)" it takes you to another RT page with again one single review on it, that same one. And if you click "top critics" it shows "there are no top critics for Rings of Power"

What gives?

It’s either a massive conspiracy to hide the fact that rottentomatoes was bribed into making it look like the show got a bunch of good reviews when really everyone hated it, or a weird HTML error.

If it is deliberate for that reason it was poorly done as the only critic review displayed is harshly negative.

Same thing happens for She-Hulk, I only see one critic review:

Something could have broken, maybe a Spanish special character causes a problem with RT's templates?

that Alvaro chap is spot on though, lol. Kind of funny that the one review showing up is a savage one

No kidding.

> A series with zero strength, zero interest and lots and lots of filler. The rings of power is a very, very weak series from the very first episodes, with unnecessary plots and completely empty characters, a soporific series.

The glitch might be by a disgruntled employee or RT algorithms really hate the show lol

House of the Dragon has been the same way. I’m guessing it’s some coding issue. The site is pretty buggy.
