Dave” has come a long way. It’s the beginning of 2020. As you walk down the street, the billboard for “Dave,” Season 1, is visible above your head. It’s the one in which Lil d***y, Dave Burd, seems to be popping out of the fly. A passing pedestrian notices you and says, “In a few years, this show will make you cry.” Are you laughing? You can ignore them. As you fast forward, check yourself to look over your shoulder to make sure the stranger isn’t right for you.
Perhaps one of the three. Yet, here we are: August 2021. The finale of “Dave,” a season two episode, is an exquisite finale. It reflects the overarching mission of Season 2 to examine Dave’s privilege, recognize the struggles of his often-overlooked friends, and push the characters, narrative and formal ambitions forward in a way that’s both funny and, yes, moving.
Summary of Dave’s previous season

Fair enough, once you get past the marketing, the comedy created by Burd (“Curb Your Enthusiasm”) showed signs that it was a promising comedy. The FXX series performed well in the early episodes, and it grew stronger through Season 1, just like great half-hour sitcoms. Each episode, moment, and choice stood out — from Dave’s clever use of music to acknowledging his rise to fame in a genre created by Black artists to the excitement for a more consistent and cohesive future. Season 2 continues to deliver, with Dave and his audience facing the challenge of how his whiteness gives him advantages in his chosen field.
The finale of Season 1 showed the chaos that Dave could create by his ego taking over, but he was able to come to his senses and stop performing a poorly-planned song live on radio. His breakup with Ally (Taylor Misiak), and his desire to prove that he is the real deal, nearly caused Dave’s machismo to ruin everything. It’s worth noting that Dave, during his improvised song, said, “I know, I’m privileged—we shouldn’t even go there.” He’s stuck between the predetermined paths to fame and the doubt that those are not his choices. Season 2 starts. Dave isn’t listening. Dave is obsessed with making a chart-topping, highly acclaimed debut album and neglects to listen to his inner voice, his coworkers, or his friends. He can’t even write anymore. With a release date rapidly approaching, he has zero songs to complete an album.
Television can make it difficult to portray the topic of stagnancy. “Dave,” however, seamlessly pivots his stories so that it reflects how the lead’s singular focus can be an indulgence not all can share and a recurring problem to those around him as well as a less rewarding way of living. While it is bad for Dave, it is not always about him. Season 2 moves on to GaTa (played in season two by GaTa, a professional hypeman who began working with Lil d***y last year), Emma (Christine Ko), Dave’s parents, Don (David Paymer), and Carol (Gina Hecht), along with Doja Cat, who plays a version of herself. Episodes 5-8 are a string of particularly disturbing stories that, as The New York Times’ chief TV critic James Poniewozik aptly put it, “actively engage [his whiteness] as an identity in a system of identities. Not just a generic default from which all other races are distinguished from.”
Episode 5 “Bar Mitzvah” shows Dave able to blow off a private gig, because he is famous enough and wealthy enough to forfeit three times his normal rate. This all happened because of the stupid beef he started. The episode follows GaTa as he gets his car towed and walks the streets of L.A. looking for it. He shows up to the gig even though he isn’t getting paid (thanks Dave), and performs for the distraught partygoers. GaTa cannot afford to lose his fans or for Dave, his employer, to lose them, even if he can’t.
Episode 6 (“Somebody Date Me”) reveals the gender gap between Dave, a male rapper and Doja Cat (a female rapper). They start messaging each other after they meet up on a dating app. First, she gets bombarded by messages from her manager, social media and publicist. She has to be pristine for an Instagram Live session full of fans (and trolls hunting for perceived flaws). Then she must run home, change, and meet Dave, whom she cleverly flirted with throughout the day. It is clear that Doja Cat expects 10 times more than what he’s willing to do for him (when he meets the famous Doja). But it’s Dave, who doesn’t feel valued, and who Doja reads about “dating etiquette” and ruins things for them all. He sees himself as the victim in his world. He’s actually the problem.
The next two entries are well worth the time. I love the juxtaposition between past and present in Ad Man, especially when Emma does her moves. The ending of “The Burds”, while heartbreaking, is honest and truthful. But we’re here for the finale which pulls all of these threads together, mostly through GaTa. It’s fitting that Dave’s beloved No. The ending is carried by 2.
Like “Bar Mitzvah,” Episode 10, which features a series of connected and escalating issues that push GaTa to the breaking point, is a similar episode. GaTa’s mother has listed their house in their name. GaTa, who is now older, is hurt and sells the “Friends and Family” passes to Dave for his album release party. Dave is too hurt to take the tickets to Dave’s VMA rehearsal. Dave isn’t able to pose for a photo.
GaTa is unable to solve the problem by himself, unlike “Bar Mitzvah”, and they soon find themselves at GaTa’s home. As Dave struggles to understand why GaTa would loan him $8,000 only to spend it on a BMW, an argument about respect becomes a dispute over money. “I gotta do what I gotta do to put myself on,” GaTa says. “I haven’t had any m***********ing bar mitzvah. It’s not possible to fake it until I am just like everyone else.” Dave cannot see the truth of these words. He says, “You don’t have to be the same as anybody else.” “Hasn’t your career taught you anything?”
The two start shouting at each other, and GaTa’s sister jumps in for Dave’s help. Davionte and Dave both apologized, but this perfectly timed interruption could have saved the day. Dave reduces his voice and soon he can hear GaTa’s true meaning. This is a guy making his own music in his own space, while Dave is “in his mansion rapping about writer’s block and ants.” GaTa only wants to be heard and performed by his fellow rapper. Dave didn’t even consider GaTa in a track. He also never considered Elz, Doja Cat or his parents’ views.
“You know what breaks your f***ing heart?” GaTa said. “That people tell you that you are crazy if you’re not happy. “And I’m the crazy one.” You can almost hear Dave’s ears ring in that moment. It is not clear how Dave will react to the highly anticipated VMA performance. Before Dave goes on, GaTa is crying in the darkness as he thanks Mike and Elz. Is he okay? Is he okay? Is this the end of their relationship as rappers/hype men? Their friendship? In an extraordinary shot by Alma Har’el, GaTa wipes away his tears and puts on glasses. The platform below him suddenly rises into a spotlight and suddenly, he’s standing on stage at the top of a ladder, walking down to Dave for their live duet.
Dave Season 2 Episode 10 Finale Dave Burd
Dave Burd in Dave
This is a powerful blocking. It was a beautiful moment. What a song! Their new song hits are a hit and their enthusiastic performance is a great show. Dave’s parents are smiling, Emma is beaming, and soon, we will see Dave and GaTa on tour having the time and joy of their lives. Elz is also on stage and it is clear that Dave is trying to make everything better. You are glad Dave finally started to listen, and you’re happy for GaTa. The fact that the finale could earn every sentiment is testament to Burd and Schaffer’s brilliant planning and inspiring execution. It would have been easy to write Dave off after a long season of entitlement. But it was not possible to let Dave go, either privately or publicly, because he had become a burden to his family. This is a less interesting and less useful arc. It would not reflect the growth Dave can achieve or the growth that “Dave’ can inspire in its readers.
Season 2’s themes about acknowledgment and understanding may reflect a significant change in Dave, the character. It could also be a reflection of Burd’s maturation as an artist (where it matters). It would have been easy to believe that he could own his own show four years ago when I was watching Lil d***y’s 11 minute music video “Pillow Talk”. The song creates an awkward situation.
The film features Dave singing both parts, and Taylor Misiak as his date. The couple avoids contentious topics and end up sleeping on the ground after a series of disagreements.
If you look back, you can see the roots of Dave in this episode: the music and actors, the conversational tangents and the surprising creatures (shout out to the anteater from Episode 9). “Pillow Talk”, like many of his songs features a relatable story enhanced with imaginative flourishes. It also shows Dave casually calling his date a “bitch”, praising his mental superiority and dismissing her point-of-view. This kind of unflattering appropriation — in which Lil d***y blends his “normal guy” persona with that of a self-aggrandizing artist — is not meant to be the song’s intended message. It’s more of an accidental byproduct of Lil d***y’s quest to become a professional rapper.
However, “Dave” is a deliberate choice. To illustrate selfless lessons, the character’s ignorance has been calculated. If you are hesitant about committing to the series on the basis of impressions from years ago, then relax
. It’s not a continuation of his music videos. The series is also not a one-man show. Burd and Schaffer are insightful, open-minded, and attentive to the place of their characters in the world. Their series is a hilarious comedy that offers genuine laughs as well as a smart education in awareness through a self-critique. Season 2 is full of funny and pointed moments. Although Lil d***y doesn’t burst from his crotch in Season 2, there he is back on a billboard doing something completely self-serving, and reckless in its lack of foresight.
“Dave,” has made a lot of progress. Perhaps the creators knew exactly what was ahead, or they just learned as they went. It’s one of the best TV programs. It’s time to listen.

Dave Season 3 Storyline
The second season sees Dave deal with his breakup with Ally. He realizes that he can’t make new music as he couldn’t move forward after the breakup. When he is working on his new album, he nearly drowns in a sensory-deprivation tank. He finally realizes that it is his time to shine. In the third season, Dave might become a worldwide sensation and realize important things about his relationship.
He can be expected to improve both his professional and personal relationships.
The Conclusion
Two things were revealed by the Dave Season 2 conclusion. First, Ally, his ex-girlfriend, has found a new man. Dave seems to be happier with his mental state. He is content that his album didn’t become the biggest selling record in the world. For the moment, he’ll be on tour with friends. Season 3 will likely be about the consequences of both these events.
It will be fascinating to see more about Dave’s personal life and how he deals with new situations. We’ll keep you informed until the official announcement. FXX has the original 2 seasons available exclusively.
