Part 4/7:
A standout in this season is Charles Vickers’ portrayal of Sauron. Isaac argues that Vickers has shown tremendous growth as an actor, suggesting that, if provided with a stronger script, fans could appreciate his performance more fully. He draws contrasts between Vickers’ portrayal and other key characters, especially Galadriel. Isaac expresses his frustration with the character's representation, contrasting it sharply with Cate Blanchett's earlier interpretation, emphasizing how the series’ version lacks the gravitas expected of such a pivotal figure in Tolkien's mythos.
