Bupkis

I think this show is significantly underrated. It may be an age thing. (I'm older than Pete by a lot).

I do enjoy Pete, but you will love this show if, in your lifetime, Joe Pesci made you laugh out loud 10 times or more, you thought Marissa Tomei was super cool in My Cousin Vinny, you understand the spiritual meaning behind "him, with those ducks", you may never have watched "Everyone Loves Raymond" and you know you never want to have a beer with Ray Romano because he's probably the boring adult in the room, but you love how he dominates every scene he's in across many shows, you secretly suspect Jon Stewart actually is running America behind the scenes...

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.

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.

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.

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.
