NO, I doubt that will be the case. It's no unusual either.
LUke Cage, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist were given to press with only 6 episodes.
and it's not unique to Netflix - American Crime Story: The People vs OJ ( a show on FX ) was given to reviewers with only 6 episodes included.

We know for certain one reviewer has seen all 10 episodes.
Since this person works for ScreenRant (a fairly major, if clickbaity, Film/TV website) we can assume that at least one of the "big" publications did receive all 10.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that tweet - thanks for sharing. I'm not used to closely following a streaming show (or, now that I think about it, television in general - movie campaigns are more my thing), so it's still fairly new waters as to how the review process goes!

"The Netflix series is at its best when it's examining something literary, be it an idiom or the misuse of a word. As always, it’s down to Warburton's Snicket to explain them in a deadpan manner – from “in the dark”, “on the lam”, “up in the air”, to “red herring” among others" That's a quote from the Gadget360 review. The only reason I find it notable is because I think it means we get to hear Lemony's super long spiel about the phrase "in the dark" a season earlier than we're technically supposed to (since it's actually in the final book), which I'm super happy about because hearing Warburton deliver that monologue is one of the things I've been most excited about since the series was initially announced. I really hope it's still as hilariously long and monotonous and repetitive as it is in the book. That struck me, too. I really love that passage - it's probably the one I most often read to people when trying to sell them on the series. My guess is it'll replace the black pages in TEE.

Wow, that thought hadn't even occurred to me, but you're probably right! I am very pleased by this theory and hope it's correct.

Interesting Quote from the Independent Review
"However, as much as his Olaf may lean into bouts of clumsiness and incompetence, we can already see the inklings of the deep, wounded bitterness that comes into focus in the book series’ later installments. Count Olaf may remain a fairly two-dimensional villain as of now, but there’s something brewing underneath all the pantomime."

This review made me very, very happy. The reviewer really seemed to get this story - and all of the quotes they cited have me giddy.

I also like these two quotes.
"Or the maze-like penthouse of socialite Esmé Squalor (played by Lucy Punch, who delightfully turns it into the second coming of Cruella De Vil), where the myopic financial elite are lavishly parodied with lines like: “If we give money to poor people, then they won’t be poor anymore and we won’t have anyone to feel sorry for.”; meanwhile, The Vile Village and The Hostile Hospital lampoon society’s fixations on the superficial markers of order, rules and bureaucracy. Only in this world would you unironically hear the cry of: “Paperwork makes the world go round.”
"A presumed ally, Hector (Ithamar Enriquez), is eager to come to the Baudelaire’s aid, but only if there’s “some way to help without being challenging or really scary”.

Great!! So reassuring. I’ m sooo glad! The review feels so passionate and dedicated to the story. Loved the quote from Esmé about poor people. It’s great that she’s getting love unlike that dumb review that said she was over the top.

So many reviews have stressed how creepy, unsettling, and Silent Hill-esque The Hostile Hospital is, paired with many reviewers expressing how “dark” this particular season is, I’m really looking forward to how far they’ll take it.
