Bupkis

This show is excellent I should've watched sooner, it's definitely worth it! Joe Pesci is perfect as a grandfather in this crazy how he's managing. The comedy is delightful, plenty of entertainment, well written, and Pete doesn't get enough appreciation! I used to hear Bupkis randomly when I was younger great that it become a series. I previously watched Squealer on Peacock that was atrocious a great relief to watch better entertainment, I'll definitely enjoy the rest of the madness of the other episodes. Smoother than expected and outrageously silly in the best way possible. I didn't realize Lorne Micheal's was a producer he known for Saturday Night Live and other great comedies.

Yes, I really never cared for anything Pete Davidson did. I thought he was kind of "not funny" on SNL. My buddy told me about Bupkis and I told him "Not wasting my time". Then I was at his house waiting for him to get ready to go bowling and his wife had it on while I was sitting with her. Come to find out that is how he got me to watch it. I was laughing so damn hard, I went home after bowling and binged it. It is a very good show and this type of show is what Pete Davidson looks like he really has talent. So even if you are like me and don't really care for Pete Davidson much, you will like him in this show for sure.

Pete Davidson is playing Pete Davidson... sort of. He's living back home on Staten Island with his mother Amy (Edie Falco). Joe Larocca (Joe Pesci) is his grandpa. He's tired of being the butt of everybody's jokes. In the pilot, he comes on his mother and helps his Uncle Roy (Brad Garrett) come inside a hooker.

It's not the first time that a celebrity is using his real life as fodder for comedic material. Pete Davidson is well suited for this with all his unstable tabloid stories. He dabbles a little with the surreal. It has good potential. It could be a standout if he gets even better. It could be his Atlanta. Of course, he quits after one season. He claims that this part of his life is done. I hope that doing some of his best work isn't the "life" that is over.

This series is actually quite good. Very well-written and acted, great cast, and finds a way to turn dark subject matter, especially relating to his father's death on 9/11 and his drug use, into something very watchable and entertaining.

Some of the middle episodes were a bit uneven, but the first two and last two were excellent. I am a middle-aged guy and can't say I've lived a life like Pete's, but I have seen enough of his work to find him very relatable. He's an excellent writer, and by the caliber of the actors willing to do cameos on this show, they think so, as well.

I'd like to see more of Bupkis.

I need to start off by saying I'm a fan of Pete Davidson, not a huge fan but still a fan, so I'm definitely the target audience for this show. FYI, you don't have to be a Pete Davidson fan to enjoy the show. I ended up liking Bupkis even more than I thought I would. I was entertained throughout every episode. The worst episode is the first so don't give up after one episode, it gets better. Bupkis is a fictionalized story on Pete Davidson's life. It's kind of how like Curb Your Enthusiasm is loosely based on Larry David. There are so many big names stars in this including Joe Pesci as his grandfather and Edie Falco as his mother. It also has so many great guest appearances by Charlie Day, Sebastian Stan, Jon Stewart, Bobby Cannavale, Ray Ramano, Steve Buscemi, Paul Walter Hauser, Simon Rex, Method Man, Jadakiss, Machine Gun Kelly, Brad Garrett, Al Gore, John Mulaney, and many more. Give this a chance because I think it'll hook you and you're going to want to binge it as fast as you can.
