"Chad" has something no other show possibly could, and that's Pedrad's unique comic style. ... Easy winner. Read full review

Pedrad captures the many contradictions of early adolescence. Chad moves stiffly through the world, swinging from bouts of loud hyperactivity to a muttery, almost physical self-effacement. The actress is so natural in the role that it's not long before the device is overshadowed by the character, a kid coming to terms with his identity. Read full review

“Chad” is sure to gain a cult following but it’s too niche to steal the thunder of the grand poobah of uncomfortable comedy, “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” Read full review

The squirm factor often becomes too much. [12 - 25 Apr, p.11]

[Chad] seems to have nothing but contempt for its title character, who says and does the wrong thing in very situation, then find ways to keep doing that again and again. [Apr 2021, p.75]

He publicly melts down when his schemes fall apart making him his own worst enemy.It’s like watching a young Michael Scott (from The Office) but more sad and harder to watch. At times he’s hilarious and has some great one-liners so I watched all episodes this season and will probably watch next season if it’s renewed.… Expand

This show is just so horrible in every way possibly imaginable! And there is little to nothing else to say here but that.

The unsolvable problem is that Pedrad plays Chad without an ounce of believability or empathy. Chad is the weird, extreme character in an SNL sketch, except that this is a full series and we can't just cut away permanently when Chad does something so extreme that it makes it impossible forThe unsolvable problem is that Pedrad plays Chad without an ounce of believability or empathy. Chad is the weird, extreme character in an SNL sketch, except that this is a full series and we can't just cut away permanently when Chad does something so extreme that it makes it impossible for the narrative to continue believably or for other characters to react in a grounded way. If you ever wondered why sketches are never long than 5 minutes, watch Chad.… Expand

This season and this whole series in general is an utter crap fest! I couldn't even make it through the first episode as to how bad this sitcom is!! The main character is an unlikable loathsome little brat. The jokes are stupid, and the plots are contrived! Skip this show at every cost!!
