"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.

John Anderson Wall Street Journal Ms. Dyer is a charmer, but the sense one gets from “DMV” is exhaustion -- not just among the California state employees who need to deal with a constant stream of nuts, cranks and narcissists, but among the people producing these kinds of shows. Oct 9, 2025 Full Review Dennis Perkins AV Club This is a resolutely unambitious portrait of lowest-rung bureaucrats lightly peppered with tonally indifferent stabs at character development and overarching purpose. Rated: C- Oct 6, 2025 Full Review Abe Friedtanzer Awards Buzz Despite the fact that they’re thinly-written, this ensemble does still have the potential to provide some entertainment. Rated: 5/10 Oct 6, 2025 Full Review Rob Owen Pittsburgh Tribune-Review All the gags are telegraphed and obvious. A second episode shows some improvement, but not enough.
