Set in a colorful academic community in Texas, this series follows a frustrated filmmaker named Chris and a writer, Sylvere, who are in a troubled marriage, and their fascination with a charismatic professor named Dick. The story is adapted from Chris Kraus' novel of the same name, and is told Rashomon-style, where shifting points of view reveal contradictory interpretations of the same events. Kevin Bacon plays the titular role, a renowned, macho scholar who infuriates Chris but also unleashes her artistic awakening.

I Love Dick carries on Transparent's search for new forms of queer, feminist, long-form storytelling. Go to Full Review Debi Enker The Age (Australia) 11/06/2018
The series' style is gleefully unconstrained by traditional TV storytelling conventions. At times, with its jarring segues, abrupt inserts and deliberately intrusive music, it's closer to an experimental film than any half-hour comedy series. Go to Full Review Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald 03/29/2018
There's some heavy stuff there, but also a lot of humour. And as much as the series merrily skewers the pretentiousness of the art world, it resolutely reaffirms the importance of art. A must-see. Go to Full Review George Fenwick The Post NZ 11/30/2021
It should also go without saying that Hahn, as ever, is a revelation. Go to Full Review Tessa Brown Hyperallergic 02/07/2020
A masterpiece of female vision and artistic agency. It's also fun as hell. Go to Full Review Li Lai Mediaversity Reviews 08/05/2019

Ostensibly a love letter to a grizzled cowboy, I Love Dick is actually an ode to women everywhere. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Stephen C @bob25009 Sep 16 8 funny episodes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more Frans B @FransB Aug 18 This is like a box of all sorts candy. Some you will like, some not so much. Very colorful and off beat. City folk in the jungle sort of vibe. Cultural shocks and challenges galore. Very cleverly written and brilliantly created by Joey Soloway and Sarah Gubbins . Many strange nuances and lengthy philosophical discussions, some very flower power related 😜 Lots of drama, intrigue, emotions and foreign concepts. Kevin Bacon brings the sass and savvy, whole cast excels convincingly in character. Great cinematography and musical score creates the appropriate ambiance. Great settings and locations also adds to whole atmosphere See more Claydo @Claydo Jun 28 What the hell did I just watch? This show was painful to get through. It was extremely boring with no likeable characters, a lot of swearing, and too much nudity. It’s just pretentious “art.” Watching paint dry would more entertaining than this. See more tom m 12/20/2021 Reasonably entertaining. I like Kathryn Hahn. She did another good job with this. 8 ~30 minutes shows … so not a huge investment of time. See more 09/14/2020 One true surprise for me, just brilliant. Saw it twice and will come back as long as it stays on primevide.com. Art, coming to age, Jewish, love, hate, despair, forgotten small town in the middle of nowhere, social media, brilliant acting, huge stars, etc., You name it. Everything is here. See more 08/11/2020 Reminds me of Twin Peaks, where there is a story that never gets told, and instead you are treated to a procession of weird characters. There are multiple sex and nude scenes, so you might watch it for that while trying to figure out how it ends and why on earth is it going there. See more Read all reviews
