Critics Consensus

Alexander Skarsgård's sly performance looms large in "Kill List," a scenically gorgeous installment that dives headfirst into the ugliness of putting a price on legacy.

Anita Singh

Daily Telegraph (UK)

For me, this series belongs to Kieran Culkin as Roman, originally the brattiest of the siblings but now a multilayered character who lets his vulnerability show.

Rated: 5/5

Philippa Snow

Independent (UK)

All in all, nobody involved could have been more effectively thrown off their axis by the trip to Norway if Matsson had personally mailed them a fresh litre of his frozen blood.

Rated: 5/5

Scott Tobias

New York Magazine/Vulture

“Kill List” is an entertainingly nasty little episode that gets plenty of comic mileage out of the clash between corporate cultures...

Rated: 5/5

The Ringer

Nicholas Braun’s stuttering line delivery on the state of France was the funniest thing I’ve seen in weeks—it’s scenes like this that underline why Greg is still a Mount Rushmore–level Succession character.

It’s like watching a cat playfully swat at the world’s most overconfident gnat.
