Marlow Stern Rolling Stone 01/02/2024
It’s unfortunate that Chappelle’s The Dreamer is, like some of his prior Netflix specials, obsessively fixated on the trans community, because it’s not an area he particularly excels at, resorting to puerile premises and punchlines. Go to Full Review Dan Hamamura Pajiba 01/08/2024
Between the hacky, tired jokes and the long-form storytelling nature of the show (a staple of this mid-career Chappelle), there are few laughs to be had. Go to Full Review Rohan Naahar The Indian Express 01/03/2024
Like a theoretical physicist helping the Nazis during World War II, or a surgeon dedicating his life to stealing kidneys, the legendary comedian isn’t exactly putting his skills to good use. Go to Full Review Christian Toto HollywoodInToto.com 01/02/2024
2.5/4
Comic GOAT punches down and all around in bold but meandering Netflix special. Go to Full Review Ian Thomas Malone ianthomasmalone.com 12/31/2023
The Dreamer is a lazy victory lap from a man with nothing else of value to offer the world beyond self-congratulatory musings on his own legacy, a lethargic effort aimed solely at fueling the far-right grievance industrial complex for another week. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Michael R Oct 23 Seems less generous than normal See more Robert L. @shaqdiese1 Jul 20 Typical Chappelle standup worth the watch See more Kristian B Jan 4 Definitely worth watching See more Brent H 10/03/2024 Just bad. Not funny. See more 06/15/2024 Being honest It was hard to watch, I was expecting something different but I think Dave lost it at this point. See more Fabian B 06/14/2024 A huge let down. Chappelle has been my comedic hero for decades, and this is a poor showing. See more Read all reviews
