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

    While the show features some sporadic moments of genuine growth and connection, Chad himself mostly operates in extremes. That his most defining characteristic throughout the first season’s eight episodes is “insecure” can make him hard to watch. ... Should “Chad” get a second season, it would be more interesting to see what he does with even an ounce more confidence, even if it doesn’t make for as many obvious punchlines.

    Chad has none of [Pen15's] Maya and Anna’s deep-down sensitivity, their love for one another, or their incredible weirdness. Chad is rude, he’s tone-deaf, he’s unpleasant, and I suspect some of that is just because of the way the character is written. ... There are sections where Chad itself seems unconvinced that this is working. ... The parts of Chad that work best are those relating to his family and how much he wishes he were more culturally American and less Persian.

He’s a melodramatic 9th grader who is trying too hard to be popular. 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.… Full Review »
