'Dave' Season 3 Is Really About Being Careful What You Wish For

He's Lil Dicky, the white Jewish comedian/rapper with so many insecurities, they would fill up the basement of his parents' suburban Pennsylvania home. He's also Dave Burd, the title character of FXX's autobiographical sitcom Dave, now in its third season. Since its debut in 2020, Dave has been one of the network's most successful series, giving the cable network's other critically acclaimed show, Atlanta, a run for its money. A big part of Dave's appeal is Burd's unflinching honesty, from his willingness to acknowledge his physical peculiarities (there's a reason his rapper name is Lil Dicky), to his unabashed candor when it comes to displaying the neuroses and maladjustments that plague his psyche and continue to stunt his emotional growth. Viewers tune in to laugh — and just as frequently cringe — at Dave's misadventures as a muddled Caucasian with a middle-class upbringing intent on staking his claim in an African American dominated urban music domain.
