Season 1 Review: Bupkis is as zany and wacky as can be and, regardless of personal verdict, it's hard to deny the ambition both in front of and behind the camera. From its excellent ensemble to its strong direction, Bupkis is one of the best new shows of the year. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Bupkis consistently straddles this line of reality in its (lightly fictionalized) portrayal of Davidson’s life and the whirlwind that surrounds his brand of stardom, with a surprising amount of candor and depth. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Bupkis in general nails a well-balanced mix of humor, self-awareness, and drama stemming from both reality and fiction, giving us a multi-flavored comedy that goes down easy. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Bupkis is at times very funny, but when it comes to getting to know more about Pete Davidson, the show’s admirable qualities are more in spite of that than because of it. Read full review

Season 1 Review: I found my opinion in flux, particularly as some episodes are much better than others. At points, the show tries too hard to shock — the first episode, in particular — and I was annoyed. At other points, it was funny and even touching, as our woeful and numbed-out hero tries to work through big issues involving mental health and drug abuse. Underneath the absurdities, at times, there’s an honest tone that appeals. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Throughout eight half-hour episodes, Pete Davidson the persona becomes a bit of a distraction. As the show takes on its own life, it doesn’t need to lean on him and could be about some other guy played by Pete Davidson. ... But for those who have delighted in his various personal highs and lows over the past decade, “Bupkis” captures that chaotic enjoyment while sneakily acquainting viewers with Davidson as an artist.

Pete Davidson's rep as a druggie and all-around slacker is well-established. His numerous girlfriends and other incidents have overshadowed his genuine abilities. This series, which he co-wrote with friends from his other work, examines the life of a somewhat real Pete along with moments ofPete Davidson's rep as a druggie and all-around slacker is well-established. His numerous girlfriends and other incidents have overshadowed his genuine abilities. This series, which he co-wrote with friends from his other work, examines the life of a somewhat real Pete along with moments of absurdity to up the entertainment value. Actually, his maturing skills reminded me of an early Woody Allen, an awkward personality with a sharp understanding of humor, storytelling and cinematic style. Edie Falco and Bobby Cannavale provide solid support with Joe Pesci, as the grandfather, adding humorous insight (a welcome return to the screen). There's also a continuous parade of cameos, including Jon Stewart (his last line is the best line of the series), John Mulaney, Ray Romano, Kenan Thompson (he's got a very funny one-liner too). In grappling with all of his foibles, Davidson demonstrates an ability that cuts thru the comic clutter to unveil unexpected candor and depth, creating a funny but also sweet series. Promisingly, it ends with in such a way that a 2nd season seems inevitable.… Expand
