"DMV" is a comedy set in the place everyone dreads going most -- the Department of Motor Vehicles -- where employees are making minimum wage dealing with customers who are annoyed before they even walk in the door. Working at the East Hollywood DMV office are: Colette, a driving examiner with a big heart and bad boundaries; Gregg, a misanthropic former English teacher; Vic, a former bouncer who loves putting difficult drivers in their places; Barbara, a newly promoted manager who tries hard but often misses the mark; Noa, a charming surfer who seems destined for much greater things; and Ceci, a scrappy photographer who isn't afraid to speak her mind. Fortunately, this quirky crew has each other to navigate the twists and turns of the DMV together.

While DMV still has some kinks to work out before it passes inspection, it's already a lot more fun than visiting the genuine article.

Chris Vognar Boston Globe Oct 20
DMV has a snappy pace, and Meadows, Dyer, and Kearney all pass with flying colors. The sitcom is becoming an antiquated form, but there’s still a place for it, a place of quick escapism and broad comic strokes. Go to Full Review Kelly Lawler USA Today Oct 13
2.5/4
The jokes are funny but not hilarious, and the characters are likable but not memorable. Go to Full Review Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times Oct 13
Its perfect averageness makes it easy to dismiss, but it’s a painless, pleasant half-hour, with a smattering of genuine laughs. And like every such show, it can be expected to ripen with age, if age comes. Go to Full Review Ty'Kira Smalls Common Sense Media Nov 4
3/5
This series is a chaotic and unserious look into one of the U.S.'s most dreaded but necessary government agencies. Go to Full Review Meredith Loftus Collider Oct 21
7/10
DMV is a sitcom that largely succeeds at its premise thanks to its strong ensemble of characters. Go to Full Review Dustin Rowles Pajiba Oct 16
The writing will need to sharpen, and the jokes will need to land faster if it hopes to stick around. Still, I’ll be watching every week. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Vanessa P Nov 30 My husband and I started watching this show recently and breezed through the entire season 1. I can’t wait for season 2! See more Peter P Nov 30 good fun! enjoyed it. looking forward to seeing season 2 when they make it! See more Phil C. @BootyCheeks420-69 Nov 22 The first season so far is definitely not perfect, however I do believe the series holds potential not shared by its contemporaries. I am excited to see where they take this crew of misfits! See more Tom G Nov 19 Predictable and formulaic characters, plus a lack of comedic wit. Although there are some humorous moments, the show will lower your IQ by 10 points per episode! Most of the characters play like they dropped out of high school, and personality wise, never grew up. If you are looking for smart and engaging comedy and characters like MASH, Friends, Big Bang, and the like, THIS IS NOT IT! See more Chelle H Nov 18 This show is awful. Boring, poor acting, not funny at all. It’s amazing this made it to prime time. Terrible writing. Painful to sit through. Sheesh. I am not sure it can get any worse. See more Allie V. @alliev8888 Nov 13 Surprisingly witty, touching and relatable. This is a truly great office comedy comfort show. See more Read all reviews
