	Author	Review
United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"[4th Season Review]: It’s not as sharp, profound, or consistent a season as the first three, but it’s loaded with empathetic goodwill, a season that seems designed as a celebratory goodbye for the people who love these characters"	NEU
United States	Bashirat Oladele Ready Steady Cut	"[4th Season Review]: The final series was just right — the angst, the emotions, the acting, and of course, the musical was the best way to end 'Dear White People' and it definitely deserves 5 stars (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Shannon Miller AV Club	"[4th Season Review]: Despite a very frustrating season, DWP offers moments that briefly remind the viewer of its original appeal"	NEU
United States	Proma Khosla Mashable	"[4th Season Review]: It's certainly not the sharpest writing or the best season of 'Dear White People', but it's a fitting sendoff for a show that did so much with its signature direction and phenomenal cast"	POS
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"[3rd Season Review]: Still clever and strongly acted, but a bit more muddled (...) [It] remains one of the best shows on TV"	POS
United States	Malcolm Venable TV Guide	"[3rd Season Review]: [It] is a very funny show with serious stories to tell, and it's more enjoyable than ever."	POS
United States	Darren Franich Entertainment Weekly	"[3rd Season Review]: Season 3 is one of the best shows of the year (...) 'Dear White People' really is an exploration of humanity and beauty and people and places, damn it. They should teach it in college."	POS
United States	Shannon Miller AV Club	"[3rd Season Review]: The new trajectory does a disservice to the characters we’ve come to know (...) Though disappointing, 'Vol. 3' undoubtedly has its bright spots"	NEU
United States	Michael Haigis Slant	"[3rd Season Review]: The series weaves social critique into its narrative with a newfound subtlety (...) 'Dear White People' maintains its sardonic wit and insightfulness (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"[2nd Season Review]: 10 excellent episodes (...) Few shows on TV feel as eager to instigate as many meaningful conversations."	POS
United States	Ben Travers IndieWire	"[2nd Season Review]: Netflix's best series gets deeper and more challenging (...) It paints a number of intimate and informative portraits"	POS
United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"[2nd Season Review]: One of the remarkable elements this season is how much Simien avoids turning these characters into mouthpieces (...) This show can surprise you"	POS
United States	Sonia Saraiya Vanity Fair	"[2nd Season Review]: This sharp, considered, and very funny Netflix comedy should be on everyone’s watchlist."	POS
United States	Michael Haigis Slant	"[2nd Season Review]: 'Dear White People' offers a dim view of communication in an increasingly tribal world (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"[Justin Simien is] more confident behind the camera here, and more focused in his writing as well. The style hasn’t necessarily changed, but whereas it felt a bit too TV for the big screen before (...) his approach is right at home on Netflix."	POS
United States	Michael Rechtshaffen The Hollywood Reporter	"Justin Simien's 2014 feature (...) transfers to series format on Netflix without losing any of its satirical edge."	POS
United States	Ben Travers IndieWire	"[It] always feels like a personal story first and intelligent satire second."	POS
United States	AV Club	"The show looks at the complicated ways racism affects black people both internally and externally."	POS
United States	Brian Lowry CNN	"'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"	POS
United States	Richard Lawson Vanity Fair	"A lively, biting look at race on campus (...) A stellar cast tells a compelling story of black activism in the Ivy League."	POS
