More Critic Reviews for Succession Season 2 All Critics (66) | Top Critics (24) | Fresh (65) | Rotten (1) Succession is a series about monstrous rich people that manages to be exhilarating and grim as hell at the same time. Aug 30, 2019 | Full Review… Alison Willmore BuzzFeed News Top Critic There is enough back-stabbing and secretive planning among the Roys to keep them joyless - and to keep us joyfully entertained - for some time to come. Aug 22, 2019 | Full Review… Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe 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 Season 2 is extraordinary. Jesse Armstrong, the show's creator, finds new levels of horror to mine in Succession's autopsy of the ultrarich, but he also finds pathos, which elevates the show even further. Aug 12, 2019 | Full Review… Sophie Gilbert The Atlantic Top Critic It's almost irresponsible how good it is, but luckily the only people who would actually reenact it are also already boars themselves. Aug 5, 2019 | Rating: A | Full Review… Ben Travers indieWire Top Critic The series has given us 10 of the best hours we have lived in the last 10 weeks. To witness the riches misery is engaging. How wonderful it is to hate the Roy's. [Full Review in Spanish] Oct 22, 2019 | Full Review… Natalia Marcos El Pais (Spain) Season two does not just succeed at expanding the strong foundation that the first season has built meticulously, it also keeps escalating the stakes and tensions as well as the hilarity. Succession has solidified itself as the best TV drama of the year. Dec 26, 2019 | Full Review… Reyzando Nawara Film Inquiry Jesse Armstrong's sharp capitalist satire is like a drug Dec 16, 2019 | Full Review… Valerie Ettenhofer Film School Rejects It's in the way these characters are written, not with snappy dialogue or winking self-awareness, but with all the inelegance and uncertainty of real people. Dec 6, 2019 | Full Review… Angie Han Mashable Effortlessly shifts between a serious family drama to a farcical exploration of power and wealth. Oct 23, 2019 | Full Review… Cameron Williams Junkee It's a decent watch, but it uses a familiar formula seen on shows such as Veep or a watered-down The Office. Jan 16, 2020 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… Phumlani S Langa City Press (South Africa) View All Critic Reviews (66) Audience Reviews for Succession: Season 2 5d ago Brilliant new season! It's a guilty pleasure to watch people/family tear each other apart for "seemingly" more money & power where in fact all characters are actually using the business world to channel their personal issues generated by a dysfunctional family that has yet to be capable of developing decent human ties, express real feelings, show some appreciation and loyalty, ...etc. Imad B Feb 02, 2020 Succession is the new obsession. The writing,direction,cinematography and acting is of the highest standards. Easily the best TV show of the year 2019. Hell excited for season 3 Mayank S Jan 27, 2020 Best thing that I watched in 2019 - killer characters, great story arcs and luxurious visuals every second of every episode. Ken C Jan 19, 2020 Although slow at times and sometimes manipulative, this manages to sustain interest, but I'm not sure for how long. The characters are universally despicable, and without somebody to root for, it's a chore to watch. At the same time, it's a fair assessment of so much that's wrong in our society. Richard R Jan 13, 2020 The best TV since Breaking Bad. Robert J Jan 11, 2020 Por mas que la entiendo como una sátira a las familias de poder dueñas de multinacionales, resulta muy sonsa, los personajes no pasan de ser parodias mal hechas de los reales imbéciles que han gobernado nuestras sociedades del tipo Bush Jr., o Trump, o Andrés Pastrana, en el caso local. La historia es predecible y se pone desesperante por la falta de acción, la temporada, de 10 horas, se podría resumir muy bien en 2 0 3 horas a lo más. Andres V Jan 09, 2020 Incredible performances by a cast that I have not seen often. A mustsee Vincent B Jan 04, 2020 Logra superar a la primera temporada Jos E Dec 30, 2019 This show is so underwhelming ashish c Dec 30, 2019 Perfection. I have watched every episode at least twice. And could listen to the music all day. Then I like to talk about watching it. And read what others have to say about it. I'm obsessed with how good it is. I feel like I've joined a cult.
