There are silly moments, gross-out moments, and shockingly deep, heartfelt moments throughout the first season. Rather, it offers a heightened look at Davidson’s life, charting how he handles (or fails to properly handle) fame, how his family interacts (which is the strongest element of the series), and just what makes him tick.

But, much to my surprise, after a rocky premiere episode, I found myself falling for Davidson’s charms and enjoying all that Bupkis had to offer.Īs the title suggests, the series is not looking to change the world (each episode opens with the definition of bupkis appearing on a title card while a disclaimer is read). So, I was less than enthused to check out his new Peacock comedy series Bupkis and did so more out of a question as to just why two acting greats – that would be Edie Falco and Joe Pesci, playing Pete’s mother and grandfather, respectively – were doing in the series.

I’ve found him to be fine in his various non- SNL projects, but I just don’t get the appeal.

I’ll be the first to admit that I really don’t understand the appeal of Pete Davidson, the former SNL star who has found himself the fascination of the tabloids, gossip sites, and the world at large (through little of his own doing) over the past several years.
