Fun show that hits all the right buttons - strong beautiful black woman taking her life back and helping others to escape their abductors. Who doesn't love a show that empowers former victims to become heroes?
Our hero has an ace team and they're out there saving "the ones no one is looking for." It's not perfect - some things don't make a ton of sense, and the acting is just good enough to keep it rolling.... But it's fun (and satisfying) to watch and promises to get better over time.
Replaces Criminal Minds in some ways for me - adding in social justice concepts that we're all hungry for. The side plots / relationships among the team members are compelling, and lots of eye candy doesn't hurt.

I laughed twice in eight episodes. So... don't watch it for the humor. As far as the drama goes, it's not very well written (or conceived). A few episodes are so poorly composed, you'll want to give up and turn it off. I did make it through to the end - I stayed with it for Pesci - but even he can't save this.
It's a missed opportunity to tell a compelling story about the intersection of drug addiction and fame... or maybe it could have been an exploration of the core issues that drive people to self-medicate. Unfortunately, Bupkis never takes us to any of those places. Dialogue that could have hit deep stayed shallow, and most characters remained undeveloped.

I'm going to disagree with a lot of the negative reviews here. Almost all rom coms are B movies - we watch them to get those sweet, squishy moments we love so much, and maybe a few laughs. And this movie delivers on both those fronts (it actually made me laugh a LOT).
Some are criticizing the film because they feel gay men don't relate to the characters, or that the movie focuses TOO much on LGBTQ issues. I would counter that I NEVER personally relate to characters in romcoms, but still enjoy them, and that for me, there was just the right amount of preach in this film.
I come in with the expectation that I'm going to be entertained, laugh, and ride along for an hour or so as people fall in love, hit the rocks, then figure it out. That's the formula and it works! It's light, feel-good viewing, and Bros does it very well. It's actually going in my annual romcom re-watch rotation. Great job, Billy!
