Dave S2 is not looking that good so far. The season premiere is pretty average with an award Korean storyline. The second episode. The second one was a bit better, showing Dave adjusting to his Hollywood surroundings and still longing for Ally, but this one is just kinda all over the place. Dave and Benny are hella homoerotic which is funny the first couple scenes but then just kinda gets out of hand. But, I have seen people like this so it's not to far fetched. The Mike storyline is random yet still pretty sad and the Ally scene/ ending just feels rushed and thrown in there. This was a strange one indeed.

Most the reviews that are negative are misguided. This episode develops characters and tells a great story. Too many of the other reviews want nonsensical silly episodes instead of grounded, dramatic episode.

This episode gives us a sense of internal conflict a lot of us face between Dave's two groups of friends. How you act and behave with one and being your true self or exposing yourself to another group. Same with Gata and his friend Tone, how Tone feels about Gatas relationship with Lil Dickey. Gives a deep dive in race and how relationships differ between how we view sexuality between the two races. A lot of good, funny, and insightful moments. As a black man I understand the difference of how I may act with white friends vs black friends and what's acceptable. And in my experience, the homo stuff is way more prevalent with the white group; the show definitely maybe exaggerated it some but in high school and college, it was something I definitely had to adjust to.

The TV show Atlanta which is also on FX with Donald Glover has similar themed and toned episodes that explore weird stories or social commentary.

The negative comment come from people who don't want to think or be challenged and just want cheap laughs that don't pay off. Very clear the viewers aren't open-minded or inclusive.

I just can't wrap my head around what's going on this season. It's missing the charm, joy, and cohesion from Season 1. I know it's technically early in the season but the story isn't there. I'm still rooting for Gata...please don't mess him up this season like the other orginal characters.

People are giving low ratings just because they saw two men naked, grow up. I even don't like hip-hop yet this show is amazing to me.

I loved the first season because it has fun, joy, and silliness while seeing some tough times. I don't know what happened to Dave, but this season is not even going okay; it's just going to let down soooo fast. Characters are acting so weird and dark way. Okay, you guys wanna make it realistic, but it's not funny or even drama. It's just weird random stuff.

I guess dont watch it if you're a straight dude? Lol at all these neg reviews. As a straight chick, I thought this episode was fun and funny and loved that they included a rocksteady song. I think Gata and his friend's reactions would still be fun to watch even if you didn't like what came before.

This season has been a complete let down compared to the first. Especially this episode. This episode was terrible from start to finish.

Get over your discomfort. At least explore it--that's what the episode is asking you to do. If every show made were based on the principal that no one anywhere should be uncomfortable, the quality of programming would suffer. One purpose of art is to provoke, to stimulate, and sometimes to make the consumer uncomfortable. That's a good thing, it can yield growth, critical thinking, and greater acceptance. I prefer not to see a lot of gratuitous violence, gore, or homoeroticism, but I don't completely pan a show just because it has some. The truth is Dave is portraying all kinds of complex human emotions and relationship dynamics that are seldom scene on screen and not easy to convey. And he's doing a darn good job of it.

Jokes dont land, blanco scenes are cringe, Ally's return had no emotion. Very worried about this season. Gata is good tho.

One of the funniest episodes of TV ever. The first 15 minutes were incredible. The story was deep, smart, insightful too, there's a lot behind the curtain.

Loved the show but this episode was horrific. I made it around 6 minutes in and had enough. The entire thing was not fun but weird and gross. Why even have a episode like this?

I love the show but this episode was ridiculous.

I don't know what they were thinking haha.

Rewatching season one right now so I can actually see a good episode. I see no direction this season and just grossness.

The gross out episode. Yes it's puerile, but there are relatable themes here. Like the bizarre in which boredom and close familial company can bring. There's a complete detachment of reality. At least it's more wholesome than some drug induced psychosis. This episode hung with me like a bad smell. Some of the micro themes are explored and emphasised through the absurd. As others have noted here, people hold many different personas, and the can bring its own friction when mixing company and roles. Some of this is skilfully handled.

Swap out Benny for a woman, and the reaction to this episode would have been totally flipped. People would love it, but the message would then be lost. Best episode of S2.

Straight trash. I was an avid fan of Season 1 but this season is a disgrace and handled with no creativity. The writers said "Let's explore the morbid truth to some artists in the industry". Season is filled with condescending characters, uncomfortable scenes, and unnecessary situations. NOBODY ASKED FOR THIS DAVE.

Also everyone knows to make a good television show you need continuity. Fire every writer who worked on this season and hire another team. Trash.

After a promising first run, "Dave" manages to start off a new season in the weakest way imaginable. Through this episode in particular, this show demonstrates its inability to balance out the drama with the comedy. Instead, it delivers high notes of intense unnecessary drama vs. Random moments of the awkward cringe comedy this show is known for. Anything in between is utterly useless as it's all repetitively building towards nothing. In fact, the show seems to have thrown everything out the window but it lacks the proper solid base to do so. Any character development is forgotten as literally everyone has suddenly become so unlikeable & insufferable. How do you expect anyone to stick around after that?

This might be the worse media created program I have ever seen in my life. No idea what he was thinking, thinking this would be funny or something straight men want to see. He lost me.

At least we still have Weird Al.

I normally love this show, but this episode was terrible. I like to watch TV while I'm eating dinner.

There was way too much gross-out "humor" in this episode. Even thinking about it makes me want to vomit.

I really hope that this show never has an episode like this again.
