Critics Consensus

Everything Logan Roy worked for goes up in smoke when a damaging story about his company breaks in the immensely absorbing, decidedly shocking "Argestes."

Roxana Hadadi Pajiba 09/16/2019
Argestes, which the show describes as a "media and banking retreat," stands in for Davos here, and many of the details sync up with stories that come out of that annual event. Go to Full Review Meredith Haggerty Vox 09/16/2019
Yes, the immediate disaster is the dissolution of the PGM merger, but it feels like there's something much more personal buried beneath the floorboards. Go to Full Review Emily St. James Vox 09/16/2019
I'm always impressed that Succession sees the toxicity at the heart of Logan Roy as clearly as it does. Go to Full Review Carissa Pavlica TV Fanatic 09/16/2019
4.25/5.0
The timing of an event like the one at Argestes in the middle of the bid on Pierce was iffy enough. Adding the potential disastrous expose on Cruises set everyone on edge, and darkness prevailed. Go to Full Review Miles Surrey The Ringer 09/16/2019
If there is a secret sauce to Succession's sustained brilliance, it might be how the show constantly finds new ways to bring a bunch of its characters together under one roof and let them bounce off one another. Go to Full Review Kevin Lever Tell-Tale TV 09/16/2019
"Argestes" is like a coming-down-to-earth moment for the Roys... For that, the episode finds a strange atmosphere about it, this impending doom settling into its bones as though the end of their empire may be near. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
