Dave makes me feel like I don't love my friends enough...or at least I don't show it.


I don't care how much I love my friends, they're not putting their balls on my face.

It's still really, really good, and unlike anything else on TV. Just not as funny so far as season one, but I think that's by design, as Dave is in a fairly dark place to start out.

Yeah I just don't get the complaints. It feels like the exact same show to me, just Dave is struggling personally.

Although yes, the last episode was really pushing the envelope, but dammit if I wasn't laughing while feeling extremely uncomfortable

I thought the last one and a half episodes were pretty solid

Man, to each his own, but this is really off base in my opinion.

My top 3 comedies of all time are the office, Silicon Valley and it's always sunny. After 1 season, I'd put Dave in my top 3-4. And if I had watched those first episodes of season 2 before season 1, I would have been out and never thought twice. The only reason I'm still watching is bc of how good season 1 was.

And it's not just me. I have a group of 5-6 friends who all thought season 1 was amazing and who all think season 2 is beyond awful.

Dave cant carry the series.

Season 1 was so good because it was an ensemble cast. Dave, GaTa, Mike, Els, Ally...a lot of the funny banter was with everyone involved. "It's a milking table, and we aren't happy about it."

Now the series is more Dave-centric and its becoming pretty obvious that it doesn't work as well as it did with the whole gang. And it's not even a "dave is getting too big for his britches" type character arc, because at this point he doesnt even have an album together yet. It's just Dave Burd thinking too hard about his series, just like his "character" does about everything and trying to hard instead of going with what works -- the entire KAJ episode was proof of this. Trying way too hard to be meta or self-reflective.

Dave isnt as smart as he thinks he is, unfortunately.

This would be valid criticism if he were the main writer and show runner. He's not. It's Jeff Schaefer who has run a comedy show may have liked, The League.

Fair point, but the League would have also sucked if they took out most of the other characters and just focused on Pete for any period of time, either (1-5 episodes). This show was great because of the ensemble cast. Criticism stands, but I'll redirect the failure to Schaefer.

to say this season has gotten worse would be a bit unfair. it's just different.

i think we can all agree that the apex of last season was the Gata episode and it was so good because it was so surprisingly heartfelt.

it's pretty clear by the Kareem episode that this season is about narcissism and the Korea episode really showed that. i was fine with this season until the first 1/2 of episode 3. all that weird stuff seemed REALLY unnecessary. it's hard to shock me usually, and i wasn't really offended by it, im just having a tough time understanding why it was necessary.

I guess I agree with you. The first season was different. It was a comedy show. It made me laugh. It had jokes in it.

Seeing Dave Burd put his nutsack on Benny Blanco's head and act inexplicably bi-curious for an episode and grovel at the feet of KAJ for committing the sin of being a self-centered Jewish white rapper who doesn't get how out of touch he is with "wokeness"...doesnt really make me laugh at all. Not a huge surprise. But these plot lines are not predicated on being funny or making a show popular...

Seems there are a lot of others that agree that this season is not very good. Maybe for the reasons I outlined, or maybe not. Either way...it's not good.

Dave wrote Bar Mitzvah. It was really good. More like last season.

He has writing credits for every episode made so far.

I'll get back to you millionaires with cable tonight, as I have to watch on Hulu next day.

The Kareem episode wasn't about wokeness. It was about facing something that other white rappers have had to address at some point in their careers since ever. Really just a continuation of the radio interview in the finale from last year.

But they made it funny and I loved that Kareem let loose enough to be in such a ridiculous scenario.

And yes, Bar Mitzvah was a great comedic episode this week. But with the gold of seeing Gata finally getting some love!

Thought this last episode was on par with last season. You could see the whole Doja Cat thing coming but watching it play out and have Dave literally representing what he was doing while helping those guys with that music video (but being totally clueless about it) was pretty great.

Last two episodes have been great.

My wife mentioned it but I didn't think anything of it, but the guy at the end that got stood up, did he match with Ally?

This was the first episode of the season that I loved. Thought it was great. It didn't have much humor but loved it from start to finish.

So should I just skip the first 3 or 4 episodes?

I'm really enjoying the arc of this season. I'm hoping the payoff in the back half is going to be what I think it is.

Regardless still one of the best shows on TV right now.

Said it before and I'll say it again....
Christine Ko is an effing knockout.
All y'all go gaga for the chick that plays Ally/Ali but Ko blows her away. I don't even have a thing for Asians, she's just so damn hot.
