The Kate-centric "Number Two" ... deepened our understanding of Kate and Rebecca's relationship via flashbacks. Go to Full Review David Canfield Entertainment Weekly 03/09/2018
A-
It's an emotional installment, but at least the ending of "Number One" gave us an idea of what we'd be in for. Go to Full Review Candice Frederick Harper's Bazaar 03/09/2018
But we see all of this unfold through the framework of Kevin's narrative last week, further illustrating how Kate's journey often played out through whatever was happening in Kevin and Randall's lives. Go to Full Review Shabnaj Chowdhury Tell-Tale TV 06/15/2018
3/5
[Kate's perspective] gives the episode a sense of immediacy, and it's honestly such an exquisite thing to see from an editing standpoint. Go to Full Review Kimberly Roots TV Line 03/12/2018
But even though "Number Two" turns out to be a far more hopeful episode of television than the Kevin-centric installment that precedes it, I can't help but long for the levity that some of those silly Pearson Thanksgiving traditions would've brought.

Sullivan's work here was pitch perfect, capturing all the rage, pain, fear, and fierce protectiveness and distilling it all down to this one interaction with a stranger. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
