I found myself genuinely following the characters and their developments through the adventures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most entertaining part of the show is how awkward Burd is when dealing with situations. The hip-hop\/rap scene seems to make Lil&#8217; Dicky feel alienated, but despite this he prevails both in his show and in real-life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each episode has a completely new and entertaining dilemma for LD and his friends to deal with as they try to push Burd ahead in the rap-game, while still calling back to previous episodes, giving it a sense of connection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Acting<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The performances are very well-done with a cast of actors who I&#8217;ve never heard of. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dave Burd does an excellent job of being the awkward out-of-place rapper just trying to find himself in the music industry. His performance makes me believe he actually acts like his over-thinking, strange counterpart in the show. In the show he has an exaggerated sense of awkwardness that has a fresh feel to it, since not many lead characters distribute these properties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Taylor Misiak portrays Lil Dicky&#8217;s girlfriend and does a great job of doing so. I actually looked up if they were an actual couple (which they are not). She does a great job of balancing her relationship with Burd as he struggles to find himself as a person and in the music business throughout the show. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GaTa is Lil&#8217; Dicky&#8217;s real-life hype-man so he is essentially playing himself. He does really well with a friendship that extends past the bounds of the show. He plays a unsuccessful rapper that has taken to Burd and his career struggles. In the latest episode he actually helps tackle the issue of bipolar disorder, where he struggles being a hype-man due to manic depression. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Andrew Santino plays Burd&#8217;s roommate, best friend and newly named manager for LD&#8217;s career. He plays a nerdy friend who cares for Burd&#8217;s character tremendously. Santino is fairly convincing as a day-trader that takes in interest in his friends musical career. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Overall<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I found the show super-entertaining with hilarious dilemmas that leave Burd and his friends with strange, enticing scenarios. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I definitely would have already binged all of the episodes if they were all out, but I tune into Hulu and watch every week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The show is very funny with good acting and a unique perspective on rap and rap culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I recommend you watch the show if you can, as it is very entertaining with good acting and character arcs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\nA review of the show &#8220;Dave&#8221; that follows fictional events that Lil&#8217; Dicky must tackle to convince the world he is one of the greatest rappers alive.\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/?p=21160\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &ldquo; Lil&#8217; Dicky&#8217;s show &#8220;Dave&#8221; is vastly entertaining&rdquo;<\/span>&hellip;<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":75,"featured_media":21161,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[813,6,10,15],"tags":[2127,2128,1557,2126],"class_list":["post-21160","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment","category-film-tv","category-music","category-reviews","tag-dave","tag-fxx","tag-hulu","tag-lil-dicky","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>[Mid-season review] Lil&#039; Dicky&#039;s show &quot;Dave&quot; is vastly entertaining - The Cultured Nerd<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/?p=21160\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"[Mid-season review] Lil&#039; Dicky&#039;s show &quot;Dave&quot; is vastly entertaining - The Cultured Nerd\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"A review of the show &quot;Dave&quot; that follows fictional events that Lil&#039; Dicky must tackle to convince the world he is one of the greatest rappers alive.
