Eli and Aaron go “looking for love” and review the latest season of DAVE. Here’s our take:
E1-E2 🤩
“The fantastic two-episode premiere of DAVE proves that even though Lil’ Dicky may have a problem growing below the belt, he just might be able to grow into a semi-good person.”
– Aaron
“DAVE is a show that doesn’t really have a lot of bad episodes, in my humble opinion. There are quite a few episodes that are absolute home runs. There are two episodes that I feel are absolute grand slams…. and then the rest are very average. Consistently average but average nonetheless. This counts as one as those. Not a complaint, but it is what it is. Average.“
– Eli
“The reason why I’ve often said that DAVE is one of the two or three best shows on television, regardless of genre, is because of episodes like this. This is an incredibly nuanced and thoughtful take on the state of current relationships from multiple different angles.
– Eli
“The episode feels like an extension of the world-building in Amazon’s series, SWARM, ATLANTA’s Teddy Perkins, or even GET OUT. Yet, what’s really underneath the ridiculous debates about the Holocaust and slaves, is a heartfelt story that cements GaTa as the MVP of the series.“
– Aaron
“When Ben Sinclair (HIGH MAINTENANCE) directs an episode of DAVE, I recommend audiences tune in. His visual flair is always uniquely coupled with extreme themes about Lil Dicky’s narcissistic quest to be #1, and #RIPLilDicky exemplifies this trend.“
– Aaron
“I understand that every episode can’t be as comedically chaotic as last week’s. I know that Dave’s search for love is the main theme of this season. However, this episode is, for my money, the most uneventful and, dare I say, dull episode of this entire show.
– Eli
“The “Looking for Love” tour was the theme of this season, and there was even an idea of Dave canceling the tour because he didn’t feel professionally fulfilled. That idea….was really going somewhere. And I don’t want to say this season has been derailed by Dave getting everything he wants. But it seems to be heading that way. “
– Eli
“Outside of the inappropriate humor, the hope that Dave has the ability to change keeps me coming back weekly. At this point, Dave has everything he could want. Fame, a girlfriend that accepts him, and the funds to purchase a M3GAN-worthy sex doll.“
– Aaron
“The problem is that the show is now treading in ENTOURAGE territory. One of the bigger problems with ENTOURAGE is that the celebrity cameos became so egregious that they didn’t make sense to exist toward the end. We’re not there with this show… yet.
