Based on the acclaimed film of the same name, this Netflix-original series follows a group of students of color at Winchester University, a predominantly white Ivy League college. The students are faced with a landscape of cultural bias, social injustice, misguided activism and slippery politics. Through an absurdist lens, the series uses irony, self-deprecation, brutal honesty and humor to highlight issues that still plague today's"post-racial" society. Creator Justin Simien serves as an executive producer.

I can honestly say, it's GOOD! Go to Full Review Matt Zoller Seitz New York Magazine/Vulture 05/08/2018
Dear White People has leveled up in quality during its second season - no small feat considering how consistently strong it was during its freshman outing. Go to Full Review Ben Travers IndieWire 05/07/2018

Logic and discourse may be out the window, but that doesn't mean people aren't trying to pull them back inside. Dear White People is an invigorating effort to do just that. Bring on next semester. Go to Full Review Sherin Nicole idobi.com 01/13/2019

Dear White People's satirical take on what's wrong with our world delivers with socially relevant punch. It is an on point social dissection in all its millennial glory and as the saying goes: It's funny 'cause it's true. Go to Full Review Alan French AwardsCircuit.com 10/10/2018

It's quite exciting to a series really come together, and Volume 2 has the confidence to make that leap. Go to Full Review Funmi Sunmonu Add This To Your List 09/13/2018
I always thought that the series was better than the film, and season 2 is so much more elevated, so much more sophisticated, so much more intellectual, so much more funny than season 1. And season 1 was fantastic. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Fetti @Fetti918 10/21/2023 Thought-provoking and humorous, but not particularly entertaining and tough to watch at times. See more 12/02/2021 I think this season (and whole series) was very well written, acted, edited and produced. Just finished watching season 4. It was great to see something with such clear personality, perspective and drive that started from the beginning and carried all the way through. See more 10/07/2021 One of the best thing on tv. great characters and a compelling story line. See more 08/09/2019 Genius! Pure genius! See more 07/05/2019 In a time where the term racist is used to describe anyone who has an opinion or takes a stance on a subject for the merits of its substance comes a show that is a true example of racism in America today. The smug and elitist tone combined with a drawn out poorly written narrative make this truly painful to watch. As with Season 1, the show is a voice piece for those who believe if you are a certain race that you are to think as you are supposed to and all band together- totally discounting people who have values determined by the merit of the substance. To assume that if a person is a certain color they all think the same and value the same things in life is in it self inherently racist and backward. Putting aside this, the show is tired and smug, lacking in direction and poorly edited. It is a show that insults its audience while preaching a hateful message. As a person who is black, I do not identify as an African american (I am an American) nor am I a victim.. If you want to watch a show that does its best to sell you on having a victim mentality, then this show is perfect for you. If you have ideas that are your own and are someone who strives for success in life, this show will make you go mad... Dear white people: This series does not reflect the black community - it just attempts to sort and label us into a neat box that reflects a tired narrative of victim-ism and symbolism over substance. See more 06/19/2019 Well written well acted good plots. If for what ever reason you Don´t like the show then don´t watch it.............season 3 on its way, so the must doing something well.......sorry to the haters! See more Read all reviews
