Season 1 Ratings & Reviews
Awards Daily
Megan McLachlan
Pedrad is telling a straightforward story about a quirky kid trying to fit in, often putting modern masculinity under a microscope, while also doing a service by depicting a positive and realistic portrayal of a culture that often gets represented poorly.
The Hollywood Reporter
Robyn Bahr
Pedrad's precise and springy character work here, honed during her years on Saturday Night Live, calibrates the exact level of petulance you need to believe this vexing protagonist without ever hating him.
The Daily Beast
Kevin Fallon
It works, and is so poignant and awkward...
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Neal Justin
Chad's journey through adolescence may be more painful than most, but it's also more hysterical. Going back to school has rarely been so inviting.
Variety
Caroline Framke
It's downright exhausting to watch Chad trip over himself over and over again. Should "Chad" get a second season, it would be more interesting to see what he does with even an ounce more confidence, even if it doesn't make for as many obvious punchlines.
Film School Rejects
Valerie Ettenhofer
Every time the show seems as if it's about to head into deeper waters, it instead piles on more scenes of Chad being frustratingly needy and off-putting, alienating his peers in hard-to-watch exchanges that don't serve any larger narrative purpose.
Decider
Joel Keller
Chad works mainly because Pedrad doesn't treat her role as a gimmick.
TV Insider
Matt Roush
Wouldn't want to be him, barely want to know him, and yet in Chad, Saturday Night Live veteran Nasim Pedrad almost makes you want to hug him - if that would stop him from being such a heartbreakingly hilarious fool.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Kathryn VanArendonk
It suggests a large cultural burden he's failing to live up to, rather than just failing to live up to the basic standards of being a person in the world. I don't know where that show went, but I would really like to watch it.
AV Club
Saloni Gajjar
Pedrad's vulnerable performance softens the blow of Chad's narcissism, but despite the show's creative ideas, it struggles to offset Chad's vain personality with moments of resolution or growth.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
You'll laugh - but cringe - at the crass behavior of the youth inhabited by fully grown Nasim Pedrad.
RogerEbert.com
Nick Allen
Nasim Pedrad pulls off a bold, bizarre comedic feat in Chad.
Newsday
Verne Gay
Chad has something no other show possibly could, and that's Pedrad's unique comic style.
Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
Rob Owen
Chad is sure to gain a cult following but it's too niche to steal the thunder of the grand poobah of uncomfortable comedy, Curb Your Enthusiasm.
Entertainment Weekly
Kristen Baldwin
Camouflaged beneath a choppy wig and oversize polo shirts, her voice pitched a half-octave lower than normal, Pedrad captures the many contradictions of early adolescence.
