Based on the acclaimed film of the same name, this Netflix-original series follows a group of students of color at Winchester University, a predominantly white Ivy League college. The students are faced with a landscape of cultural bias, social injustice, misguided activism and slippery politics. Through an absurdist lens, the series uses irony, self-deprecation, brutal honesty and humor to highlight issues that still plague today's"post-racial" society. Creator Justin Simien serves as an executive producer. Read More Read Less

Morgan Murrell BuzzFeed News I can honestly say, it's GOOD! May 11, 2018 Full Review Matt Zoller Seitz New York Magazine/Vulture Dear White People has leveled up in quality during its second season - no small feat considering how consistently strong it was during its freshman outing. May 8, 2018 Full Review Ben Travers indieWire Logic and discourse may be out the window, but that doesn't mean people aren't trying to pull them back inside. Dear White People is an invigorating effort to do just that. Bring on next semester. Rated: A May 7, 2018 Full Review Sherin Nicole idobi.com Dear White People's satirical take on what's wrong with our world delivers with socially relevant punch. It is an on point social dissection in all its millennial glory and as the saying goes: It's funny 'cause it's true. Rated: B+ Jan 13, 2019 Full Review Alan French AwardsCircuit.com It's quite exciting to a series really come together, and Volume 2 has the confidence to make that leap. Rated: 4/4 Oct 10, 2018 Full Review Funmi Sunmonu Add This To Your List I always thought that the series was better than the film, and season 2 is so much more elevated, so much more sophisticated, so much more intellectual, so much more funny than season 1. And season 1 was fantastic. Sep 13, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Fetti Thought-provoking and humorous, but not particularly entertaining and tough to watch at times. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/24 Full Review Audience Member I think this season (and whole series) was very well written, acted, edited and produced. Just finished watching season 4. It was great to see something with such clear personality, perspective and drive that started from the beginning and carried all the way through. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the best thing on tv. great characters and a compelling story line. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member First season was absolutely amazing...cinematography, plot, writing, everything. However, this one was definitely a let down. Jokes weren't as witty and it seemed like the writers were getting tired, idk. The ending also smelled like a pathetic attempt to leave a spicy cliff hanger in order to drag the show out another season. I expect this series to go out with a mediocre whimper like many of the series that Netflix just won't let die. This is a shame too, as Dear White People is exactly the type of show our problematic, white privilege-infested society needs. But alas, Dear White People is yet another example of Capitalist greed consuming what could've been a great outlet for social activism. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Genius! Pure genius! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member In a time where the term racist is used to describe anyone who has an opinion or takes a stance on a subject for the merits of its substance comes a show that is a true example of racism in America today. The smug and elitist tone combined with a drawn out poorly written narrative make this truly painful to watch. As with Season 1, the show is a voice piece for those who believe if you are a certain race that you are to think as you are supposed to and all band together- totally discounting people who have values determined by the merit of the substance. To assume that if a person is a certain color they all think the same and value the same things in life is in it self inherently racist and backward. Putting aside this, the show is tired and smug, lacking in direction and poorly edited. It is a show that insults its audience while preaching a hateful message. As a person who is black, I do not identify as an African american (I am an American) nor am I a victim.. If you want to watch a show that does its best to sell you on having a victim mentality, then this show is perfect for you. If you have ideas that are your own and are someone who strives for success in life, this show will make you go mad... Dear white people: This series does not reflect the black community - it just attempts to sort and label us into a neat box that reflects a tired narrative of victim-ism and symbolism over substance.
