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.

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.

The Indian Express

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.

Comic GOAT punches down and all around in bold but meandering Netflix special.

Rated: 2.5/4

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.

Being honest It was hard to watch, I was expecting something different but I think Dave lost it at this point.

A huge let down. Chappelle has been my comedic hero for decades, and this is a poor showing.

Oh no Dave’s dropped a bollock. Quality control gone, like he’s just believing his own hype.

Not the best special he has put out. There are some good laughs, but not as many as his other specials

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

A beautifully written and hilariously funny conversation about dreams and the dreamers behind them. The irony is looking at the audience scores of chapelles specials vs the critics scores. It's clear now that the critics don't reflect what real people care about or like.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
