Season 4 Review:
Expectations are high, and based on what I’ve seen of the season so far (four episodes), they will not be dashed. They may be subverted, though. ... At times, still, the show can be too pert and snarky for its own good. ... But that’s a relatively minor critique of what is otherwise satisfying and surprising—based on what I’ve seen, anyway.

Season 3 Review:
This season stalls in the same storylines that the series began with, relying on a top-tier cast—from Matthew Macfadyen as Shiv’s husband to Strong as Logan Roy’s bitch—to make it work. ... Season three doesn’t feel safe as much as it feels conservative—a bit fearful, lacking guts.

Season 1 Review:
Any discomfort we feel about enjoying the show means Succession has succeeded, stoking a needling internal (and now external) conversation about the masses’ ideological relationship to the oligarchs pulling levers above our heads. If that is indeed what the show is trying to do, a begrudging hats off to Succession.

Season 4 Review:
While the season takes a bit longer to catch fire than its predecessors, once the shady dealing begins in earnest, “Succession” is more intense than ever. And with the series finale in sight, the show has a full tank of gas and an 800-pound gorilla’s foot on the pedal. Better than ever doing business with you, “Succession.”

Season 2 Review:
Despite its gloom, “Succession,” which is up for best drama series at this year’s Emmy Awards, is extremely watchable and about as easy to ignore as a hangnail. In addition to its Didion-esque ability to illuminate the subtle evils along its margins, the show simmers with vile dialogue.

Season 1 Review:
Underwhelming in both execution and intent. ... Its occasional attempts at wryness result in a choking dryness, with the only levity coming from the arrival of a green and gullible cousin, Greg (Nicholas Braun), who attempts to ingratiate his way into this inner circle of snakes. The overall tone of cruelty is difficult to overcome.
