    Meh. The trailer was good so I thought I would check it out (even though Pete Davidson's act and his movie cover most of this). Was not impressed. Lot of gross-out gags and underutilization of Joe Pesci and Brad Garret. The friends were practically wallpaper and the if this is how he spends his time, I'm disappointed in fame and fortune. It doesn't make for good TV.

    More thought went into choosing the title font than the writing. Disappointing, lazy, boring.

    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.

    He's not really stretching here, he's adding to the bank of Pete Davidson characterizations he's already done. It's gotten him this far, sure. But with "Bupkis," the well has run dry.

    Bupkis has some flaws, and Davidson at times suffers from the generosity he and his co-creators have given to the rest of the cast and guest stars. But it’s still a funny show that takes some surprising early emotional turns that still feel earned.
