Bupkis

It started with the most generic, overdone, cringey "mom caught me masturbating" skit, and on top of that - with a badly inserted Meta Quest ad. But the more you watch, the better it gets.

I guess I'm one of the few people in the world who doesn't hate Pete, because according to himself, everyone does. I don't follow American pop culture or politics, so maybe I'm out of the loop, but I don't have a single reason to dislike him, other than his terrible taste in women. His early comedy specials were fantastic - and that's all I knew about him going into this.

Unfortunately it's a bit too much like Louie - the most beta male "exaggerated version of a celeb" show to ever exist - which hinders it several times.

But it also has a ton of heartwarming moments, some realness, some good comedy...

I don't know if Pete's a bad person or not, but regardless, if he were a female pop culture personality - he wouldn't be getting all this excessive hate. It wouldn't be that socially acceptable. But he's a guy - so I guess it is? American logic in a nutshell.

I wish he would speak out about this a bit. Johnny Depp was forced to, and I'm pretty sure Pete is kinda being forced to have the balls to speak out on the hypocrisy of male vs female treatment by the media.

Anyway, good show. If you're a fan of Pete, you'll like it. If you're not - I don't know why you'd watch it. Also, Art The Clown makes a random appearance, which was a huge plus.

Yes, I really never cared for anything Pete Davidson did. I thought he was kind of "not funny" on SNL. My buddy told me about Bupkis and I told him "Not wasting my time". Then I was at his house waiting for him to get ready to go bowling and his wife had it on while I was sitting with her. Come to find out that is how he got me to watch it. I was laughing so damn hard, I went home after bowling and binged it. It is a very good show and this type of show is what Pete Davidson looks like he really has talent. So even if you are like me and don't really care for Pete Davidson much, you will like him in this show for sure.

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.

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...

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.
