What to Know

Critics Consensus

Dave still has a lot of growing up to do, but DAVE has matured into a darkly hilarious and disarmingly wise comedy about the alienating price of fame.

[It] doesn’t shy away from tackling sensitive topics like sexual insecurity and mental illness with satirical humor. Go to Full Review

Instead of devoting episodes to supporting characters, it devotes its season to critiquing Dave's singular identity - namely, how his viewpoint is rooted in whiteness and privilege. Go to Full Review

Don't let the childish marketing fool you. Or do let the childish marketing fool you. Just give Dave a try. Go to Full Review

Burd’s staccato self-effacement (which “is actually a super-intellectual commentary on hypermasculinity”) stands out and penis jokes turn out to be an unforeseen ticket to stardom... Go to Full Review
Erin Maxwell L.A. Weekly 07/20/2021
Dave is still a biting satire set within the music industry that depicts the many pitfalls of making it to the main stage at Coachella. But especially this season, it's sometimes difficult to watch. Go to Full Review
Brian Grubb Uproxx 07/03/2021
If the first season of Dave was a revelation, a shocker of epic proportions both in the quality of the story and the lengths the show will venture to for a laugh, then the second season is a continued journey on that upward path. Go to Full Review

Mason M Jun 13 The first season of Dave is great and showed a lot of potential for something really interesting and deep. And the second season of Dave is when it reaches that potential, and it finds a very intelligent voice for itself. The filmmaking in this season was phenomenal. It was very cleverly written on a good balance of it being funny and not taking itself too seriously between being genuinely great with intelligent concepts and very emotional moments. And Dave is also one of the best and most interesting to watch television characters ever made. And Burd is funnier than ever in this season along with a proper and realistic progression of his character. My favorite episode of this season was also Enlightened Dave by the way. The second season of Dave fully finds its voice and potential of greatness by taking lots of risks and succeeded with all of them. See more Daddy M @daddymooch 06/02/2024 Well this show certainly fell off See more Daniel M @MazzaQuePasa 02/28/2024 That last episode was incredible and it was a great reward for watching the series. Very emotional! See more Carl J 07/17/2023 A Hilariously Immature Journey into the World of Rap and Fame! Oh boy, let me tell you about this gem of a show called Dave! I mean, seriously, where do I even begin? This show is like a rollercoaster ride through the mind of a man-child, and I am here for it. First of all, let's talk about Dave himself. He is the epitome of immaturity, but in the most endearing way possible. Watching him stumble through life, trying to navigate his way in the rap industry, is both cringe-worthy and hilarious. I mean, who knew that being a rapper could be so damn hard? But what sets Dave apart from other shows is its ability to tackle deeper themes while still making you laugh your socks off. It's like they took a dark comedy and sprinkled it with some wisdom. The show explores the price of fame and the alienation that comes with it, and it does so in such a clever and thought-provoking way. The writing is sharp, the jokes are on point, and the characters are so well-developed that you can't help but get invested in their lives. And let's not forget about the supporting cast! From Dave's loyal friends to his eccentric manager, every character brings something unique to the table and adds another layer of hilarity to the show. And can we talk about the music? I mean, this show is about a rapper, so you know the music is going to be fire. The original songs in the show are catchy as hell, and they perfectly capture the essence of Dave's journey. Plus, the show features some amazing cameos from real-life rappers that will leave you grinning from ear to ear. Now, I have to be honest here. As much as I love Dave, I can't give it a perfect 10/10 rating. There are a few moments where the show loses its comedic edge and veers into some unnecessary drama. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the attempt to add depth to the story, but sometimes it feels a bit forced. But hey, no show is perfect, right? Overall, I would give Dave a solid 9/10 rating. It's a show that will make you laugh, make you think, and make you fall in love with its quirky characters. So, if you're in the mood for a darkly hilarious and disarmingly wise comedy, look no further than Dave. Trust me, you won't regret it! See more Ajinkya R 04/13/2023 Easily one of the weirdest(in a good way) season you can watch of any TV show. See more Sascha K @skyssa 02/13/2023 Excellent writing and directing. Very different tone vs the first season. The entire season tells a coherent narrative that provides such excellent catharsis in the final few minutes of the last episode. Can't recommend enough.
