Dave
2020 · 3 Seasons · FXX · Comedy
Dave is a show that works hardest when you least expect it to. Beneath the avalanche of crude jokes and genital-related humor lies a surprisingly sincere exploration of insecurity, friendship, and the cost of chasing creative ambition. Its second season is excellent television, and the supporting cast elevates what could have been a vanity project into something with real heart. The crude humor will push some viewers away before the show reveals its depth, and the third season doesn't quite sustain the highs of the second, but at its best, Dave earns its place in the conversation about modern comedies that manage to be both absurd and affecting.
