Adapted from the lauded feminist novel and set in a colorful academic community in Marfa, Texas, this is the story of a struggling married couple, Chris and Sylvere, and their obsession with a charismatic professor named Dick. Told in Rashomon-style shifts of POV, the series charts the unraveling of a marriage, the awakening of an artist and the deification of a reluctant messiah.

Thehibikiew Not even bad in a good way
Libramedi Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant
Megamind To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.
Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
lmerry1 First, if you're having a hard time getting into the series watch the director's summary. In just 6min I had much more sense of what they were going for.Second, even if you're not particularly interested in feminism or art, this series is very entertaining. Kathryn Hahn, especially, is fascinating to follow through her journey of changes. And Kevin Bacon is more interesting, vulnerable, and funny to watch than ever before. Just a fantastic set of actors throughout this series.Finally, the show tells a simple story that brings up a ton of complex issues. It is a pro- woman meditation on marriage, art, feminism, gender, and becoming your next self.I sure hope we get a second season with all these people!!!!
nguyenkmii I Love Dick is hard to watch for many and is often described as cringey because the characters are really messed up. But that's not the point! This show gets kudos for putting an unfiltered and raw slice of humanity on screen. This is not the story of redemption that you're used to. No one saves the day. Get ready to watch a woman circling the drain for an entire show. The way she lets it all hang out IS INVIGORATING.
Luca Dryden Terrible show is terrible. Someone is making me watch this show. This show is as awful as I thought it would be. Boring, distracted, frantic, boring, boring, old people, boring, dull, sucks so much. Can not believe that anyone with a modicum of taste would enjoy this awful tripe. Drab terrible boring show. Wait, oh its still on the screen. And ONE is required to write enough here to take up a minimum amount of space. Why the screen stop moving. Oh right they're being artsy here. Stop the moment as it were. I must still must be young and a have a pulse because I feel like it something old people would enjoy. Old people who are smug and boring and enjoy terrible, boring pieces of garbage to watch.
elkenarra [sic] As a reader, autofiction always interested me more than autobiography-- where everything is predictable and boring because we always know how it ends due to their public high-profiles and well-known deeds of the subject in question. Chris Kraus wrote I Love Dick in 1997 following a French tradition of female fiction writers--as Marguerite Duras did with her acclaimed The Lover--but nevertheless from a very refreshing feminist standpoint.
