The show’s presentation remains impeccable; Mark Mylod and the other directors capture the bizarre largesse of the characters’ lifestyles while keeping the focus squarely on the high-intensity dialogue. Read full review

A captivating nine-part struggle for power, season three is a near-perfect return for the critically acclaimed Succession, which never fails to remind you that your own family aren’t actually that bad when compared to the imploding Roys. Read full review

The Guardian Lucy Mangan

The writing – though there is in this particularly plot-heavy, season-setting opener less room for the delicate characterisation that customarily leaven the script and make you wring your hands with their deftness and intelligence – remains immaculate. The performances ... remain unimpeachable. Read full review

“Succession” is the best show on TV. Which makes it a particular pleasure to report that Season 3 lives up to that superlative. Read full review

Succession somehow only gets better in its third season, giving us more relentless nastiness, ridiculous humor, and remarkable performances. This is the stuff great TV is made of. Read full review

Rob Owen

Focus on the characters brings to the fore the show’s dark humor. There are more laughs to be had watching “Succession” than most TV comedies, a testament to the show’s writers who imbue the Roy children with specific foibles and a general lack of self-awareness. Read full review

Oct 15, 2021

The performances are what make “Succession” sing, and also what distract you from its shortcomings. ... Ultimately, “Succession’s” buffet of uniquely crafted artisanal profanities have the ring of desperate-to-impress schoolyard taunts. A little goes a long way and the show’s preoccupation with this kind of shock comedy has diminishing returns. Read full review

After a 2year break and a jaw dropping cliffhanger the Roys return in real time stronger than before as if they never left. With some if the best dialogue I've seen on screen this year and full story. Despite the size of the cast no narrative is lost,nothing is easy and forgotten. One thingAfter a 2year break and a jaw dropping cliffhanger the Roys return in real time stronger than before as if they never left. With some if the best dialogue I've seen on screen this year and full story. Despite the size of the cast no narrative is lost,nothing is easy and forgotten. One thing i appreciate about this season more than the other's is seeing the relationship between tom and greg shift and seeing tom and shiv's romantic paradigm shift too. I rarely enjoy the episodic format but with this show it increases the thrill. Never would i expected a show about one of the worst family's to be so human.
Also that finale has one of the best scenes I've seen on television since the "red wedding", i was honestly shocked. The performances if i may again emphasis were **** phenomenal!… Expand

This season culminates in one of the best episodes of television. The war between Kendall and Logan wages.

This review is based upon all the episodes of season 3 that have come out so far. I am a fan of the show, but it is struggling a bit this season. Feels like it goes in circles at times and the plot becomes a bit repetitive. Hopefully things move forward a bit more soon. Here and there areThis review is based upon all the episodes of season 3 that have come out so far. I am a fan of the show, but it is struggling a bit this season. Feels like it goes in circles at times and the plot becomes a bit repetitive. Hopefully things move forward a bit more soon. Here and there are scenes that are total gems, but the pacing feels a bit off overall. If you liked the first two seasons no reason to skip the third. You just made not find the current season as good as in the past. Hopefully that changes in later episodes.… Expand

It is not that bad but previous seasons were better. Does anyone has the same view that the action doesn't go anywhere in season 3?

This season sucked. Nothing changed. Same old. Same old. This season rendered all of season two meaningless.
