Bupkis

This series is actually quite good. Very well-written and acted, great cast, and finds a way to turn dark subject matter, especially relating to his father's death on 9/11 and his drug use, into something very watchable and entertaining.

Some of the middle episodes were a bit uneven, but the first two and last two were excellent. I am a middle-aged guy and can't say I've lived a life like Pete's, but I have seen enough of his work to find him very relatable. He's an excellent writer, and by the caliber of the actors willing to do cameos on this show, they think so, as well.

I'd like to see more of Bupkis.

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.

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.

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...
