      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      DAVE can be just as off-putting as Lil Dicky's rap persona with its abundance of genitalia jokes and self-aggrandizement, but beneath the raunchy veneer is a surprisingly self-aware show with a sweet core.

      Megan McCluskey TIME Magazine Crude yet heartfelt comedy... May 24, 2023 Full Review Randall Colburn AV Club Dave isn't good because it's funny (though that helps). Dave is good because it knows you think you know what it is. Jul 7, 2021 Full Review Hugo Rifkind Times (UK) Dave is funny, but maybe not for everyone. May 15, 2020 Full Review Donal Lynch Sunday Independent (Ireland) Throughout it all, Dave is an underdog you just have to root for and it’s the best cringe comedy this side of Tom and cousin Greg in Succession. Jan 29, 2024 Full Review Marty Brown Common Sense Media Hip hop has been a monumental cultural force for nearly 50 years, so it's offputting to see this show indulge in a lot of the same easy jokes about rappers that have been made for decades. Rated: 3/5 Oct 22, 2021 Full Review Kevin Fallon The Daily Beast Dave is very funny. That's not the most astute critical assessment, I know. But it's what you probably most want to know. It's also deeper than it has any business being. Jul 7, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

      Daniel M First season was great! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/19/24 Full Review Jamie C This is one of the best TV I've seen in years! Started as a 'hidden gem' and ended as a masterpiece at times, so brilliant and unique, genuine yet out there.. give season 1 a go! thanks to everyone involved, great job! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/25/24 Full Review Carl J A Hilarious Rollercoaster Ride of Laughter and Dreams! Oh boy, let me tell you about this hilarious gem of a show called "Dave"! I give it a solid 9 out of 10 in my funny-o-meter. This show is like a rollercoaster ride of laughter, with twists and turns that will leave you gasping for air. So, picture this: we have a neurotic mid-20s suburbanite who is absolutely convinced that he is destined to become one of the greatest rappers of all time. I mean, come on, who doesn't dream of becoming a rap superstar while living in the suburbs, am I right? But hey, he's got big dreams and he's not afraid to chase them! Our protagonist, aptly named Dave, is on a mission to prove to everyone that he's got what it takes to be a rap legend. And by everyone, I mean his closest friends. Because let's face it, if you can't convince your buddies, how are you going to convince the world? It's like a modern-day David and Goliath story, but instead of a sling, Dave's got his rhymes and witty comebacks. Now, Dave's friends are simultaneously exasperated and inspired by his relentless pursuit of rap stardom. They're like his own personal cheerleaders, cheering him on while secretly rolling their eyes behind his back. But hey, that's what true friendship is all about, right? Supporting your friend's crazy dreams, even if they seem utterly ridiculous. And let me tell you, Dave is determined. He's ready to leave no stone unturned on his quest for superstardom. He's willing to put in the hours, the sweat, and the tears to make it happen. And who knows, maybe, just maybe, he might actually succeed. I mean, stranger things have happened, right? What makes "Dave" even more special is that it's based on the real-life experiences of rapper and comedian Dave Burd, also known as Lil Dicky. So you know this show is coming from a place of authenticity. It's like a glimpse into the mind of a man who dared to dream big and chase his passion, no matter how unconventional it may seem. So, if you're looking for a show that will have you laughing out loud, cringing in second-hand embarrassment, and rooting for the underdog, then "Dave" is the show for you. It's a hilarious and heartwarming comedy that reminds us all to never give up on our dreams, no matter how outlandish they may be. In conclusion, "Dave" is a must-watch comedy series that will have you laughing, crying, and questioning your own life choices. It's a show that proves that with determination, a little bit of talent, and a whole lot of humor, anyone can chase their dreams and maybe, just maybe, achieve greatness. So grab your popcorn, buckle up, and get ready for the wild ride that is "Dave"! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/17/23 Full Review Bryan M A very fun watch! Looking forward to the next seasons! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/09/23 Full Review Cumali T Not my cup of tea. Different worlds I guess. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 05/26/23 Full Review Jesse M This might be one of the greatest written comedys of all time. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
