"DMV" is a comedy set in the place everyone dreads going most -- the Department of Motor Vehicles -- where employees are making minimum wage dealing with customers who are annoyed before they even walk in the door. Working at the East Hollywood DMV office are: Colette, a driving examiner with a big heart and bad boundaries; Gregg, a misanthropic former English teacher; Vic, a former bouncer who loves putting difficult drivers in their places; Barbara, a newly promoted manager who tries hard but often misses the mark; Noa, a charming surfer who seems destined for much greater things; and Ceci, a scrappy photographer who isn't afraid to speak her mind. Fortunately, this quirky crew has each other to navigate the twists and turns of the DMV together.

Graeme Blundell The Australian Dec 15, 2025
The focus is on scene-by-scene, shot-by-shot storytelling, and it’s far less stagy, more art-directed, exemplifying the way the sitcom is breaking away from its origins as self-contained short plays for TV... Go to Full Review Chris Vognar Boston Globe Oct 20, 2025
DMV has a snappy pace, and Meadows, Dyer, and Kearney all pass with flying colors. The sitcom is becoming an antiquated form, but there’s still a place for it, a place of quick escapism and broad comic strokes. Go to Full Review Kelly Lawler USA Today Oct 13, 2025
2.5/4
The jokes are funny but not hilarious, and the characters are likable but not memorable. Go to Full Review Ty'Kira Smalls Common Sense Media Nov 4, 2025
3/5
This series is a chaotic and unserious look into one of the U.S.'s most dreaded but necessary government agencies. Go to Full Review Meredith Loftus Collider Oct 21, 2025
7/10
DMV is a sitcom that largely succeeds at its premise thanks to its strong ensemble of characters. Go to Full Review Dustin Rowles Pajiba Oct 16, 2025
The writing will need to sharpen, and the jokes will need to land faster if it hopes to stick around. Still, I’ll be watching every week. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Jeff J @JeffJeffJeffJeffJeffJeff Sep 12, 2026 The comedy doesn't translate to non-United States. Very boring, generic and flat characters. It's trying so hard to be a "work place comedy" like Superstore or The Office but fails flat at everything. See more Tom F @RT55173143 Aug 27, 2026 I stuck this through to the end, proof that I will watch Harriet Dyer do anything. Nothing terrible here, just the most basic network sitcom. See more Ivan A @Aveclord Aug 2, 2026 Yall crazy didnt renew this show bettwr then anything I've seen in a while See more Kam H. @kamskam Apr 29, 2026 It’s pretty funny if you give it a chance See more Dan W @RT63070558 Apr 17, 2026 This is a good workplace comedy even though it will end after 1 season and it doesn't use the mockumentary format favored by other shows of its type. See more Rob B @RT11283987 Mar 31, 2026 This show should not be canceled...I understand they already did but that's B.S ...I love the type of comedy they do over 10 friends of mine enjoy this show. The comedy in this show and how it is has potential of the comedy central workaholics show!!! See more Read all reviews
