    There wasn’t the depth of a show like Dear White People, which is much more game to challenge the intricacies of student politics, but The Chair is nonetheless smart, subtle and extremely watchable.

    The Chair bites off more than it can chew by expanding further into cancel culture and personal identity – topics which would require a few more episodes to properly explore – with the added effect of taking valuable time away from the principal characters.
