а вот чтобы по делу хвалили режиссуру и сценарий, то я такого не видел, скинь цитату.

Хорошо, я взял из своего вчерашнего списка 7 первых рецензий и пробежал по диагонали. Если Вам не понравятся цитаты, я буду искать дальше, но я очень надеюсь, что по цитатам видно, что критики (кто хвалит) хвалят не только визуальный ряд, но и сценарий, и режиссуру, и других актеров (не только Кларк).

1. сценарий + режиссура (как я понимаю в сериалах, это общая модерация темпа/монтажа/камеры, поэтому об этом):

• But for all those familiarities these stories don’t feel like rehashes of what came before. These relationships give each of these different arcs across the first two episodes a much needed human depth (regardless of the fantastical species involved), but more crucially they evoke the themes that make The Lord of the Rings what it is in the first place. (Gizmodo)
  
• While the first episode gets a little too caught up in exposition, the second is able to build on the characters and their relationships much more naturally, setting in motion a few intriguing subplots and a respectable amount of action. (IGN)
  
• It’s noticeable, too, that every scene feels as dense as one from a movie – there’s barely a minute for the scripts to breathe as we cut from location to location. When The Rings of Power slows down and lets the characters just talk, it feels fresh. (TotalFilm)
  
• Everything feels big and romantically transportive—transitions evoking the Jackson films as cameras sweep over lavish drawn maps of Middle-earth do actually make you feel like you’re getting a glimpse of a massive, lush world, as does the actual scenery the camera fades into showing you. (Gizmodo)
  
• thankfully, with a cast as vast as its vistas, the series has plenty to offer beyond its surface level spectacle.(Gizmodo)
• Showrunners Patrick McKay and J.D. Payne have invented these characters, and they are as Tolkien-esque, perhaps more so, than anyone Jackson created for his adaptations (TotalFilm)
• When it gets frightening, it is genuinely scary. Towards the end of episode two, it is breathlessly tense and far more gruesome than I anticipated. (Guardian)
• Director J.A. Bayona and his frequent cinematographer Óscar Faura craft one stunning image after another(RollingStone)
• The scale of Rings of Power — developed by untested writers J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay — would feel empty without compelling characters at the middle of those lush pictures. Fortunately, the show has a promising collection of those (RollingStone)
• It's safe to say "The Rings of Power" will bide its time when it comes to storytelling. But the first two episodes, particularly episode 1, move at a remarkably breakneck speed. Best of all, they do so without ever feeling rushed. The first episode alone packs in a ton of backstory in its opening minutes, laying everything out in a clear, scene-setting way that peppers what comes next. I doubt the show will keep this pace up for the remainder of its first season, but it's the perfect way to get things started — dropping us into this world and filling in the blanks.(SlashFilm)

актерского состава ещё Кларк выделяют

По другим актерам:

• judging by leader Sadoc Burrows (Lenny Henry, who’s great) and his strangely prophetic books. (Empire)
  
• Troublemaking youngster Elanor Brandyfoot (Markella Kavenagh) looks like being our lead Harfoot, however, and she’s likeable but underdeveloped as yet. (Empire)
  
• fantastic performances—Clark’s Galadriel, not the ethereal mystic embodied by the Elven queen in Lord of the Rings, but a zealous, determined warrior frustrated by her people’s recalcitrance, is a particular standout, as is Kavenagh’s perpetually-optimistic Nori—with emotional beats and themes that speak true to the heart of Lord of the Rings. (Gizmodo)
• This side of the story focuses on the instantly-likable Nori (Markella Kavenagh), a younger, ultra-curious Harfoot who gets swept up in some kind of adventure. (SlashFilm)
• Owain Arthur as Durin IV and Sophia Nomvete as Disa, two Dwarves with more sizzling chemistry than anyone else in Middle-earth. (TotalFilm)
