Dave (2020– ) User Reviews

A much needed comedy

[kenjenkins-83136 · 8/10 · 7 March 2020]

You can only watch Letterkenny, Archer, Workaholics, and Sunny so many times. TV needed a new edgy comedy and Dave is just that. Its smart, its crude, and it is really funny.

Satisfyingly Hilarious

[bigdbk · 9/10 · 5 March 2020]

First two episodes were quirky, awkward and awesome! I was not a huge Lil Dicky fan, I am a 40 year old who only knew or liked 2-3 songs of his from a few years ago. After getting a gander of this funny dude and AMAZING rapper in action, I will be digging deeper into his catalogue and watching every episode. From one Dave to another 👍🏼 👍🏼 Hope this show picks up a ton of viewers and sticks around.

Season 2 will make you hate Dave

[chancenconnect · 8/10 · 1 July 2021]

I don't know what it is exactly but I absolutely loved season 1 and now it's like in season 2 he's got so much hate coming at him it makes you believe he's a narcissistic awkward jerk.

I never laugh but I laughed out loud

[mary-56037 · 10/10 · 12 March 2020]

Tv these days don't make me laugh as much as it used to and "Dave" can be a bit much especially the 2nd episode about the "fmesilly" blow up doll, but in the end made me laugh so hard I mean a good hard belly laugh. Has great music and beats and l love hearing some new lil dicky but this show is brilliant!! Definitely for viewers over 18, and I wouldn't watch it with your parents or anything but man we needed this show! I find myself upset after the new one that I have to wait a whole week!

This show doesn't suck but most of these reviews do.

[ForrestRivers · 10/10 · 12 August 2021]

I just had to review to stick up for Dave, wow some of these reviews are just not accurate. Loved season 1, almost through season 2 after reading reviews bagging out how bad it is. People need to get a grip, this is one of the most creative, well articulated shows of recent memory. Season 2 is just as good as 1, completely different so much deeper, emotionally engaging and strange but still a creative masterpiece! Sit back, relax, get weird, have a few laughs, don't look to much into things and enjoy. Can't wait for season 3. I love Dave and everything about it. Great show. (ps. Some of you obviously aren't comfortable with your sexuality calling Lil Dicky gay, that's bromance comedy bro)

Hilarious

[jaredrobertcollins · 10/10 · 14 March 2020]

This is one of the funniest shows ive seen in a long time. The entire cast is great. I cant wait to see where they go with it

"Curb" for a new generation

[austinhord79 · 10/10 · 9 March 2020]

The first two episodes available delivered the satisfying humor reminiscent of Seinfeld and Curb. Dicky has not only shown off his impressive acting range this far, but also his clever and hard-hitting bars all add to a fun and edgy comedy.

Hi I'm Dave

[shaunmcevoy-98833 · 9/10 · 25 January 2021]

Where's this absolute gem been hiding? A show about and starring Lil Dicky I was onboard from minute 1, he's a hilarious rapper. This is truly a great show that had me in stitches and with some really touching scenes too, I can't recommend this enough it's honestly a superb tv show and I can't wait for season 2. I think other than Dave the best character is Gata that guy is so funny and in the episode about his Bi polar is acting goes to another level completely, what an incredible performance.

FUN, HIP & HILARIOUS

[AlexandraaBuena · 10/10 · 4 March 2020]

A series that doesn't hold back the realities of what it's like to reach stardom as a rapper.

Be ready for sexual, racy jokes. Just don't take it too seriously and enjoy the beats Lil Dicky makes throughout the series.

Season 1 great, Season 2... below average

[skylermoore · 7/10 · 9 May 2022]

Season 1 of Dave was some surprisingly great stuff. There was a direction and a plot that felt real. A great cast who all seemed to have a purpose and chemistry. There's emotional stuff to care about... It really was something memorable and fun. A great surprise to me. 8/10

Season 2 of this kind of throws all of that away and goes another direction... The plot is messy, it's boring and nothing much happens. Which in a way is what it's trying to do but to pretend that writing in this isn't really bad is lying to yourself. Everything unique and interesting in season 1 was replaced by tropey middle school jokes and tropey story telling. It really felt like it was meant to just fill the air and they weren't sure where to take it. By the end of season 2 I think it landed in a good spot and finally found something good. Unfortunately it takes way to long to get to this point and season 2 was an unfortunate swing and miss. It's below average. 4/10

Overall given both seasons a 6/10... right in the middle is probably the most fair rating. Season 1 is very good tv but Season 2 is massive misfire. If there is more to come I hope it goes back to its roots.

Stop the hate

[briangoins-59472 · 10/10 · 5 August 2021]

All of these negative reviews are misleading, yes season was 1 was better and it's hard to follow that up but this season is about Dave going through a writers block a sort of depression because the might not say it but he does miss Ally which is the most reason he can't write. This season has been more emotional and doesn't have the same laughs but is just as good.

2nd season sucks

[Lorstull-101-85825 · 17 June 2021]

First season hilarious, second season horribly unfunny and disappointing.

If you like Lil Dicky, you'll like this show

[jester2055-113-954586 · 7/10 · 6 March 2020]

I am actually surprised how well this guy can act, I mean he is playing himself so that's not a big leap but he's really good.

If you don't like his self deprecating music you probably won't like this show. I'm giving this one a chance and so far it's better than a lot of other current comedy options.

What happened?!?!

[kpetow-94005 · 4/10 · 28 June 2021]

Season 1 was AMAZING! I was sooo excited for season 2 but what happened? It's no longer funny and is more uncomfortable than anything. When I watched episode 1 of season 2 I thought ok maybe they are just seeing up the story line but by episode 3 I was to disgusted to finish. I how it turns around and goes back to how season 1 was.

Hilarious

[cmurphy-25508 · 10/10 · 6 March 2020]

Not only is it hilarious but he's actually a great rapper and not just on the show but in real life. If you watch the two episodes that are currently available I highly recommend YouTubing his music. The song earth is not that funny and is sub par even though there are 30 singer/rappers on it it. However don't let that detour you. It's a great show and he's a great rapper, definitely more satirical then literal, I hope he comes out with a couple songs that are a little less comedic but either way, I've said it once and I'll say it again great rapper and great comedian. If you like comedy watch this show, if you like rap, watch this show. If you run out of good tv watch this show! I'm kind of mad there wasn't a complete season when I started watching this! I would binge watch the frick out of this bananas bullshish.

HILARIOUS AND NEW

[tevernaugh-76446 · 9/10 · 12 March 2020]

This show is hilarious and raunchy!! A lot of shows try to be raunchy but just end up doing stupid atuff that's been done a million times. This show has a new level of raunchy hilarity! I dig it!

Hi I'm Dave

[Tvwatcherallthetime · 10/10 · 14 March 2020]

"Hi, I'm Dave". I couldn't quit going around saying this. This show is hilarious. Music is really good. I wasn't expecting him to be a good rapper and a comedian. Con: the show should really be an hour long.

Bad reviews before the Finale?

[leehollindale · 10/10 · 27 August 2021]

So shocked to see people writing this season off before it had even ended. The performances were absolutely stellar. Please watch all of the episodes before casting judgement. Congratulations to all involved, this was a fantastic piece of work. So much deeper than I could have imagined, or expected.

I watched expecting to laugh but at times felt more like crying

[andersonsonger · 10/10 · 15 August 2021]

I've never written a review for anything until now so that proves how much I loved watching Dave. I've been a lil dicky fan for some time and knew him for his childlike humor, so I was thoroughly surprised when I found myself on the edge of my seat with my heart racing. The show is so perplexing and kept me on my toes the entire time. It really is an innovative piece of entertainment and I've never watched anything quite like it.

I Honestly Think Dave Is a Different Kind of Show

[andrew190877 · 10/10 · 19 January 2022]

Dave totally surprised me. I was excited for the show and expected it to be funny and entertaining when it was announced. The further I got into the first season the more I realized it was actually a work of art though. This show is deep and meta on a level that almost everything else on tv cannot live up to. I can't really explain how it makes me feel. It is prescient and timely and to me it is perfect. From its extremely accurate portrayal of mental health, to its portrayal of modern romantic and platonic relationships, I think this show does an amazing job of relating to people. Thank you Dave Burd and company for your honesty and your love and respect for your audience.

Really funny and really good

[FeastMode · 7/10 · 19 August 2020]

Season 1: 8 stars (2 viewings, 8/18/2020, 8/8/2021)

This show made me max-volume-laugh numerous times, so many parts are absolutely hysterical. Pushes limits like I love. And even ignoring the comedy, it's surprisingly good with some great acting and really moving moments. My only downside with the show is some unnecessary relationship drama in a couple of the episodes, including one side-story episode. It's odd because I feel like I said the exact same thing about Atlanta, including the side-story episode. Possibly the same creators?

Season 2: 6 stars (1 viewing, 8/11/2021)

I ended the season 1 review comparing it to how I felt about Atlanta. This show seems to be taking the same route in season 2. SIGNIFICANTLY less funny. And WAY more drama. Some people may like that. But I came here for the comedy with some heart and emotion. Instead I'm getting drama and emotion with an occasional laugh.

And it also does the thing I don't like where major story elements are not continued into the next episode. They're not inconsequential, but they just move onto something new to start the next episode.

Season 3: 7 stars (1 viewing, 7/8/2023)

A nice bounce-back from season 2. And I legitimately can't believe some of the celebrities featured in this season. "We made it" is an understatement for Lil Dicky.

The second season isn't that bad

[x-35474 · 8/10 · 12 August 2021]

Yes, the second season had a bad start. But it progressively got better. Not as good as season 1 mind you, but it gets better. Season 2 is more of a drama, than a comedy.

This show is most likely based on Dave's past experiences. He expresses this throughout both seasons. Sure, season 1 was more funnier than 2, but we can't always get what we want.

Over the course of season 2, it essentially gives a deeper insight into the backstory about Dave's character. Whether it is completely fictitious or partially real, I feel like the intention of what Dave wanted was expressed in season 2. Looking forward to season 3.

Too much of his ass too much describing his shredded penis

[fopfopfop · 6/10 · 22 March 2020]

I think the top says it all. I'd review but honestly he wont shut up about his mangled penis so...

Season 1 was so good what happened?

[fpgxvdct · 2/10 · 18 June 2021]

I loved season one, rewatched it's several times, but this season.. I'm having a hard time liking or relating to any of the characters, beside the writers block part. That I get. However, all of it was just hard to watch, it was a dissonant chord with no resolution. Benny Blanco was fun in the first season, but just like his production, it started original and then it turned into rehashed hot garbage. All these dudes carry a certain arrogance that comes through with their acting. They're basically human embodiments of Apple products like "screw you, we know you're going to buy it anyway." They think because they're well established that no effort has to be put into their craft. The whole thing is just lazy.

What the heck happened ???

[chancenconnect · 8/10 · 29 July 2021]

Season 1 was incredible and season 2 is just awkward and socially unconscious. Dave now to the world is a self centered ego maniac and a narcissistic nerd. Dave burd if you're really like this in real life id just give up.
