Pete Davidson in a show about Pete Davidson, I didn't know what to expect, but I was very pleasantly surprised. I think the premise of the show doesn't pull a lot of people in because Pete is known for his off beat stoner humor and drug use, but the show has so much more to offer.

For starters the cast is great; Joe Pesci, the elderly dying wise guy grandpa, Edie Falco, the though as nuts sweet ma, Bobby Canavale, the coked up uncle, that reminds me of my friends in the 90's and last but not least Preston Brodrick as the young Pete Davidson. I could go on and on about the cast and the cameos, which are abundant and hilarious, especially the one by Ray Romano.

At the heart of all the episodes is the angst of Pete Davidson.

Am I being the best person, I can be?

Which we all wonder from time to time.

Although the episodes only have a runtime of about 25 minutes every story is so wel rounded, it transcends most sitcoms.

I really hope Bupkis gets a second season cause we still haven't seen the whole Pete Davidson story and all of his talent.

So if you're hesitant, please give it a go, I promise you, you definitely will be as pleasantly surprised as I was!

A bunch of animated shorts without any real storylines. I'm a real fan of animated movies and animated shorts, but I haven't found any redeeming quality in any of these.. crappy animation overall, no compelling stories, no entertainment level whatsoever. Too pretentious for my taste, a diversity vehicle I guess, so that should be a good thing, but it just isn't. Of course the medium of 5 minute stories is very limited, but the makers should be able to engage , bewonder or move you and none of them did.

The tagline "Tell a story only you can tell" is pure nonsense as well, I was expecting personal stories and they weren't...

Skip it!

OMG... An entire show about the Will Smith vs. Chris Rock slap just isn't funny!

What a waste of talent, his last special was so good, energetic, funny and brutally honest, I was just expecting so much more. It feels like one joke that gets spun out so thin, it's bound to fall apart. For me that happened about 10 minutes in. Maybe the energy of his preparation for the Richard Pryor biopic was channeled in his previous special and I just expected too much. We'll have to wait for his next special to get the answer...

Although Will Smith gave us some great entertainment, he's doesn't deserve an hour long redemption special, because he couldn't take a joke about his bald wife being a great cast for the next GI Jane movie!

Marlon is still a great guy with tons of energy. That's why I still gave it a D minus/4 stars review, but as a fan of stand up comedy my advice is to skip this set!!
