Bupkis

Obviously if you're a Pete Davidson fan you're going to like this and if you're not you probably won't. That's why I don't understand the people who are leaving negative reviews. What were you expecting? Having enjoyed The King of Staten Island, I was expecting this to be a longer version of that movie just made for a tv series and while they both have a lot in common, this is actually better than the movie. I think it's mostly due to the great Joe Pesci who plays Pete's dying grandfather. The dynamic Pete has with his grandfather is what makes this better than the movie. Every episode has plenty of laughs but also some good drama too. Even though you'll enjoy this a lot more being a Pete Davidson fan I don't think you have to be his fan to like it. I'm already looking forward to next season.

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'm not a big fan of his, I don't think his stand up is good and I don't think he's a good actor. He was great in the CC Roasts though. However this show is great, he's great in it, the supporting cast is great, the dialogue is great, im just very pleasantly surprised. I'm particularly impressed with the supporting cast, it's amazing. So many great actors playing family members who themselves can steal an entire episode. I've gotten emotional a few times already and laughed out loud which is the ultimate range I'm looking for in a great show. This is a play on Pete's life so as long as he doesn't do anything too stupid to get cancelled, there will be plenty of material to be had as well. I look forward to it.

Honest to God I think the people leaving low ratings are trolls. The show is absolutely hilarious, heartfelt and the acting is phenomenal. Joe Pesci as Poppy is la crème de la crème and he is funny as hell. All the actors (some well known and others less known) they were wonderful in their roles and played their parts hilariously and beautifully. The guest roles too were so well blended and we get a comical but deep insight into the life of PD. I'm not a dedicated fan of his stand up and so this is not coming from a place of bias. I am objectively saying that this show is very, very well made and I thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to season 2. Well done guys, you did great.

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.
