Critic Reviews

Season 1 Review:
Repeated viewings may help get all the details, grace-note references to artists like Kara Walker and various feminist filmmakers, but this is not a series that will ever leave you feeling satisfied. Dick will leave you as Jill Soloway intends: restless, provoked, unsettled. In this case, that translates to television greatness.

Season 1 Review:
Heady satire full of humanity, I Love Dick is lovably challenging. [12 May 2017, p.50]

Season 1 Review:
In other hands, I Love Dick could be too much to take, but Gubbins, Soloway and the show’s writers are satisfyingly skeptical of intellectualism, art, the Marfa milieu and the self-absorption that consumes their characters. The show can be quite instructive on the basics of art theory and gender studies, but, at the same time, it also works as a sendup of people susceptible to their own B.S.

Season 1 Review:
The show is often funny and generally entertaining. If you try to study it it can feel elusive, like you need an education in gender studies or art history to appreciate it. But watch it for the actors, story, and cinematography, and you can binge it like any other show.

Season 1 Review:
As a TV show, I Love Dick’s makes the smart choice to lean into the book’s aggression, giving Hahn the freedom to fully let loose. The series embraces every sordid, horny detail of Chris’s desire, staring viewers directly (and often literally) in the face and daring us to blink.

Season 1 Review:
Literature has capitalized on the tensions in I Love Dick for decades, if not centuries. But TV--so often praised these days as being novelistic--has been far less able to capture the true inner turmoil of being a person. This story of wrongheaded lust gets it right.

Season 1 Review:
I Love Dick is a treasure trove of charged moments, an intriguing dance of provocation, creation, and self-reflection. It digs to the roots of desire with unflinching curiosity. It is a daunting show to step into, with its scathing critiques and blunt personalities. But there is something cleansing and freeing about its unvarnished intimacy.

Season 1 Review:
It’s the kind of show I would never begrudge someone for absolutely hating. The only thing I would argue is that you should give it time. Like the works of some of the filmmakers involved in its production, it’s trying to shock and challenge you, and that kind of show can take some time to work for a viewer.
