Bupkis

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.

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 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...

I almost pissed myself when I saw the first episode. And I was hooked. Perfect watching before you go to bed, then you can turn over in your bed while you are smiling and just look forward to seeing the next episode the next day.

Very funny and a great cast. Like he said on the tonight show. "I just called them and asked" Excellent. If you like to laugh and have a kind og stupid querky humor, then this is great for ya.

Too bad it's only 8 episodes. This is fun and I would love to watch some more. Really good production. It's rare to actually find something funny to watch these days. Thanks to the whole crew for this. I had a really good time.

I need to start off by saying I'm a fan of Pete Davidson, not a huge fan but still a fan, so I'm definitely the target audience for this show. FYI, you don't have to be a Pete Davidson fan to enjoy the show. I ended up liking Bupkis even more than I thought I would. I was entertained throughout every episode. The worst episode is the first so don't give up after one episode, it gets better. Bupkis is a fictionalized story on Pete Davidson's life. It's kind of how like Curb Your Enthusiasm is loosely based on Larry David. There are so many big names stars in this including Joe Pesci as his grandfather and Edie Falco as his mother. It also has so many great guest appearances by Charlie Day, Sebastian Stan, Jon Stewart, Bobby Cannavale, Ray Ramano, Steve Buscemi, Paul Walter Hauser, Simon Rex, Method Man, Jadakiss, Machine Gun Kelly, Brad Garrett, Al Gore, John Mulaney, and many more. Give this a chance because I think it'll hook you and you're going to want to binge it as fast as you can.
