Rolling Stone

No. 1 Boy has become the No. 1 Roy. Whatever happens next, we've leveled up to an entirely new category of Prestige TV.

Pajiba

Was there a better way Succession could have ended its phenomenal second season? No, I don't think so. The finale "This is Not for Tears" blows apart relationships throughout the entire Roy family.

Alison Herman

The Ringer

"This Is Not for Tears" deploys familiarity and novelty in equal, and expert, measure. The episode intentionally invokes what's come before to set up, then subvert, our expectations.

It turns out, [Logan] was completely wrong about Kendall. He is a killer.

Rated: 5/5

TV Fanatic

From the very beginning, Succession has been leading up to the events of Succession Season 2 Episode 10, but that doesn't make the way it happened any less jarring or repugnant.

Rated: 5.0/5.0

Kevin Lever

Tell-Tale TV

It manages to bring out some fantastic performances from its infinite pool of talent, chief among them Jeremy Strong, who manages to rise above and become one of the strongest performances on television.

Rated: 5/5
