Avila, Luis (TTh) Dave
Dave is a semi-autobiographical comedy series on FX about Dave Burd; an up and coming rapper trying to break into the music industry. Currently sitting at a 72% on rotten tomatoes with the critics, however the audience seems to favor it more with a 91% score. His real life rap moniker is 'Lil Dicky' and the show displays all his struggles in the rap game and all the jokes that come with having such a satirical name. DAVE pulls no punches with its sitcom nature and storytelling; crescendoing in a beautiful and emotional ninth episode with all the feelings you thought you'd left at the door. The show acknowledges many stereotypes and formulas in the rap industry and all the trepidations that come with success and signing with music labels.
