How to Be a Bookie

I wasn't sure what to expect with Bookie, especially with Sebastian Maniscalco leading a series, but I've been pleasantly surprised. From the very first episode, the show pulled me in with its sharp writing, witty dialogue, and a cast of characters that feel both authentic and hilariously over-the-top. Maniscalco brings his signature style to the role, blending humor and tension in a way that keeps each episode engaging.

One of the show's biggest strengths is its mix of comedy and drama, striking a balance that makes you care about the characters while keeping the laughs coming. The supporting cast adds plenty of personality, and the cameos are a real treat-sometimes unexpected, always entertaining. Whether it's familiar faces from the comedy world or surprise guest stars, they add an extra layer of fun to an already strong series.

I've found myself enjoying Bookie a lot more than I anticipated, and by the end of each episode, I'm always left wanting more. It's the kind of show that sneaks up on you-in the best way. I really hope season three comes soon because I'm not ready to be done with this world yet.

I never write reviews. I mean what can I say, most of the time it's already 5,8 million reviews that basically all say the same thing but I just had to write something this time since I actually laughed out loud?! I never do that watching comedies, or very very rarely though. But this was just hilarious. 10/10 from grumpy old man.

Great cast, spot on back and forth between the main characters, great support cast. It's just a really good show. It boasts with the creators of 2 1/2 men involved here too. It wasn't a selling point for me at least but they sure did a good job.

Hope they keep it up for the coming episodes.

In an entertainment era often criticized for its lack of genuine laughs, Bookie emerges as a refreshing exception. Breaking away from the clichés that pervade the comedic landscape, this series managed to elicit sincere laughter from me, a rare feat in today's climate of cautious humor.

From the opening moments of the pilot, Bookie defied my expectations, replacing the usual smirks with hearty laughter. The humor was not just a fleeting moment; it persisted throughout, making me genuinely LOL multiple times until the very end.

Impressed by the comedic prowess displayed, I eagerly dove into the second episode, only to find the laughs continuing to flow effortlessly. The clever writing and comedic timing left me hooked, eagerly anticipating more episodes to indulge in the delightful laughter that Bookie effortlessly delivers.

In a world where comedy often treads carefully to avoid offending sensibilities, Bookie fearlessly embraces humor, providing a much-needed breath of fresh air. I look forward to future episodes, eager to see if Bookie can maintain its comedic charm and keep the laughter rolling.

I came across Bookie by accident on MAX. It has been sometime that a serious had me laughing so much. I love the lead characters, Danny and Ray. They are very silly but in a good way. Their chemistry together is great not seeing that they are of different races or skin colors. They are actually 2 friends that like each other and would do whatever to protect each other. Watching this series makes my laugh taking my mind off all the depressing things occurring in society. I cannot get enough of this series, Bookie. I love these 2 guys characters. I hope Bookie get's a second season because I will definitely watch it.

The most recent episode with the snake in the tub and Sebastian after doing drugs made me laugh so hard. I couldn't stop giggling after my laughing fit was over. I had tears in my eyes and I am grateful my face, that was all contorted from laughter, did not stay like that.

I was so glad to see new episodes it's really a good show. The cast all fit perfectly into their roles. I have to say that Sebastian's ability to look like he's really experiencing what he's acting is excellent. It struck me when he ran through the living room how natural this is for him.

Charlie Sheen is a huge plus. I love seeing him acting again. He looks and sounds so much healthier. He's a fabulous example for others.

Thank you Chuck Lorre.
