More Critic Reviews for Succession Season 2 All Critics (42) | Top Critics (15) | Fresh (41) | Rotten (1) There's not enough absorbency in a tissue factory to mop up the verbal effluent when the warring siblings and their irascible patriarch get together to talk business. Aug 15, 2019 | Rating: 5/5 | Full Review… Suzi Feay Financial Times Top Critic The deliciously wicked HBO drama returns for its second season and it is more charged, more intoxicating and more must-see than the last. Aug 14, 2019 | Full Review… Wenlei Ma News.com.au Top Critic It should be said that Succession isn't for the faint-hearted. Foul-mouthed insults flew thick and fast, while several scenes would have been pretty impenetrable to new viewers. Aug 13, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Michael Hogan Daily Telegraph (UK) Top Critic The writing here is so wonderful, every line of dialogue is cracking with energy and venom, while all the performances are masterful. Aug 13, 2019 | Full Review… Wenlei Ma Herald Sun (Australia) Top Critic There are moments - usually when the camera jerks towards Kendall's vacant, flummoxed face - when I believe that Succession is just about the best thing I've ever seen on television. Aug 13, 2019 | Full Review… Rachel Cooke New Statesman Top Critic What makes Succession feel particularly rich and rounded - and very sad - is the depravity, rarely played for laughs, of every moment in which this family touches normal people. Aug 12, 2019 | Full Review… Linda Holmes NPR Top Critic Because it's so much more interested in the comedy of the cluelessness super-rich, it insulates the audience from the real world as well. Aug 15, 2019 | Full Review… Aaron Bady The Week A near-perfect hour of TV. Aug 13, 2019 | Full Review… Morgan Baila Refinery29 Succession is back, and it's even stronger. Aug 12, 2019 | Rating: 4.5/5 | Full Review… Kevin Lever Tell-Tale TV Despite a plot that seems far too close to home, this show is fantastic and somehow not incredibly depressing...season two...is even better than the first season. Aug 12, 2019 | Full Review… Ani Bundel NBC News THINK View All Critic Reviews (42) Audience Reviews for Succession: Season 2 4d ago The writing and acting in this show makes every scene and every character so damn good from start to finish.
