After the static and bloodless world of “The Girlfriend Experience,” the Showtime comedy Dice is like an explosion of heat and vigor and passion.
The six episodes don't feature enough laughs to rank it among the essential comedies, even if the writing in specifics is pretty solid. A handful of jokes land every episode. Few miss. The tone is consistently light.

This is a great show. Dice was always the type of comedian who was entertaining even if he wasn't making you laugh outright. Perfect timing and delivery, good writer and despite the vile nature of much of his humor, he always had subtlety that often went overlooked. All of this still holds with his new show. Dice's skit comedy has always been less known than his stand up, but was always great; this show really highlights that side of him. Much of the humor is classic Dice, but now has a softer, more self-deprecating side and more nuance as well. The cameos are great, Natasha Leggero is excellent, and the stories are funny in a very Vegas type of way. The directing could be a bit better, as the flow of the episodes is at times a bit choppy (preventing a score of 10), but Dice himself is an excellent actor, as demonstrated several times recently in his career. I hope this new Showtime series is renewed.

SEASON 1
Overall, Dice may not be a groundbreaking piece of television, but it does feel in many ways like a culmination for Clay’s career.
An episode featuring Criss Angel, the “Mindfreak” illusionist, is also quite funny, and practically every installment is enlivened with attention-getting guest stars from the Las Vegas scene. But the series, created by Scot Armstrong, invests an awful lot in the comedic value of crassness, and the result is only a 50-50 success rate.
Strengthen or ditch most of the supporting cast (and go “Louie”-style with a rotating ensemble) and Dice could become something really special. As is, it’s still an interesting chapter in a return of a once-superstar that most of us never saw coming.
The show has its moments, spread over six episodes, but as showbiz perches goes, this one is hardly the top of the world, ma.
Dice is unwilling to give Clay qualities beyond abrasiveness and unequipped to craft for him an insightful line. Leggero, co-creator of Comedy Central's terrific Another Period, is wasted, while cameos by Adrien Brody and Wayne Newton go nowhere.
It was funnier and better than I expected. I still need to watch the rest of the episodes, but first impressions were definitely not bad. I'm admittedly somewhat of a Dice fan. We used to watch 'Ford Fairlane' at every friend's birthday (followed by The Vidiot from UHF and Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure'.

SEASON 1
I had to write a positive review to counteract the negative reviews. This show is really funny. Dice is not afraid to make fun of himself and really shows what "Vegas" life is like. The show makes really good use of guest stars as well - Adrian Brody and Criss Angel stand out. You don't have to be a "Dice" fan to enjoy this show. Just sit back relax and spend some time with the Diceman. Ohhh. Aaaagish.
