Pete Davidson is not funny. He's a guy describing his life in a somewhat self-depreciating way. That's his entire act. This formula only works for talented comedians. Read that again.
Pete's set was only 10 minutes of the 50+ in this show, and didn't really have any jokes to speak of. I shudder to think how much he was paid for those 10 minutes. That's why you're going down the tubes, Netflix!
Pete spent his time whining about his "terrible" life and all the "terrible" things that have happened to him, like falling backwards into fame and being on a nationally televised comedic show for 8 years despite having no comedic talent to speak of.
Because Pete knows he isn't funny, and his "team" knows this, this Netflix special is mostly an attempt at deflection.
The "deflection" actually sort of works, as after his 10 minute performance ends, Pete brings in other "comedians" who are so bad at their career choice that Pete seems brilliant by comparison.
Pop culture, Hollywood: Please stop pretending we should care about Pete. He's really not funny.
