Season 1 Review:
Identity is a prominent theme in the story of college kids struggling to discover who they are and what they stand for, and the series’ first two episodes feel deeply unifying. The premiere episode is a streamlined effort with an impressively strong voice; the next half-hour is equally affecting and vocal, an ideal split between entertaining and illuminating.

Season 1 Review:
Dear White People balances satirical irony and deep-seated rage to tell its richly entertaining, wildly funny yet deadly serious character-driven story of identity politics. [1-14 May 2017, p.19]

Season 3 Review:
Some subplots and characters get lost along the way, but here, too, there are gems of dialogue and performance and a breakout performance by a new cast member, Griffin Michaels, who plays D’unte. ... This might be a train wreck of a season in some ways, but it’s a glorious one, spilling food for thought everywhere.

Season 1 Review:
Dear White People works perfectly as a half-hour series, providing a sharp look at African-American students at a predominantly white Ivy League university while creating an assortment of appealing, well-defined personalities. Making the jump from 2014 movie to TV show, the Netflix show passes the test of juggling relevance and entertainment with flying colors.

Season 3 Review:
Dear White People has never had a problem with an availability of interesting, solid characters, and this season is no exception. The breakdown lies in the show’s ability to push forward their individual journeys in a manner that doesn’t come off like a free-for-all, but rather like an actual development.

One of the best original series on netflix. If you read the bad reviews from here you will know that the series has hit who it should.

It's an amazing portrait of society. A must-see series, especially, for fear white people!

One of the best series nowadays. Racism is still strong in america and the show portraits that. In the second season it becomes more clear why people usually criticize movies or tv series about black people. It's disgusting to see a tv show critic acclaimed like this to have a 3.6 user score.

This was very racist, I don’t get why if the black people are racist like they always are against the white, then is ok, the opposite is unacceptable. This was just a racist crap, I’ll give zero.

I mean, what is there to say. The irony that this show claims to be against racism while being this racist is palpable.
Not worth a watch and a reason for the ongoing divide.

If it wasn’t obvious this show is very hypocritical. The show is very racist but you could’ve got that from the name. Annoying uninteresting characters,bad writing,below average direction. It’s just not good and if that’s not enough it is racist and offensive.
