"Dave" centers on a neurotic man in his late 20s who has convinced himself that he's destined to be one of the best rappers of all time. Now he must convince his closest friends, because with their help, he actually might convince the world. Simultaneously exasperating and inspiring to his friends, he vows to leave no stone unturned on his quest to become the next superstar. The half-hour comedy is based on the life of rapper and comedian Dave Burd, better known by his stage name Lil Dicky.

Critics Consensus

Rather than rest on its laurels, Dave season three puts in the work and devotes itself to offering an excellently awkward, vulnerable and unique view of the self-referential.

In Season 3, Dave is basking in the confidence earned from its exceptional prior entry, but it’s not resting on its laurels.

[The first three episodes] are like nothing else on TV, but they also speak to how often FX has allowed creative voices the freedom to express themselves in deeply personal and ambitious ways.

A show with an unassuming title, and some of the funniest writing in years.

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but: Is the Lil Dicky TV show slept on?

3/4

“Dave,” season three, is as raunchy as you remember but also a bit telling. As he makes his way around the country, look for his world view to change. Sometimes, the more you see, the less you know.

I was hoping for a 4th season to turn everything around and redeem this show but I see now that it's been officially cancelled, probably for the best in the end.

Though this season of Dave is still great, it's definitely the weakest of the three. Burd throws a lot at the wall here in this season. Changing up the location, more high concept ideas, elements of horror, new themes about love. And though not all he throws here sticks, it still is ultimately very enjoyable. I still love the character of Dave, and even in some of the worst episodes, it still is immensely well written and enjoyable to watch. And when the ideas work, like in episodes 2, 4, and 6, the show reaches back to the funny yet heartfelt heights of season 2. What ultimately holds this season back from the other two is its lack of development in the plotlines and seeming criticism of the audience. That may sound bad, but I still really enjoyed this season, even if I was a little disappointed.

Absolutely incredible season. Lil dicky is a great show writer. Brad Pitt episode as the finale should go down as an all time tv episode.

Ok this show didn't just fall off. By season 3s end it fell off a cliff and is clinging to life.

Can you make a better season, somehow keep the dark subplot and still keep it fresh? Yes, yes you can. Season 3 has it all.

This season wasn’t as good as season 2, but the last episode was awesome with incredible cameos. I’m super excited for season 4 though!
