The Inconsistent Star: Pete Davidson's Bupkis Deserves More Than Pity or Praise The recent inclusion of Pete Davidson's short lived Peacock comedy Bupkis on TIME's list of 50 Most Underappreciated TV Shows is a curious development.
While some may view it as a vindication for the comedian, who has been dogged by controversy and criticism throughout his career, others will see it as a tokenistic nod to a talent struggling to find his place in the spotlight.
Bupkis's semi autobiographical approach is striking. By drawing from his own experiences with addiction, trauma, and the pressures of stardom, Davidson creates a show that feels deeply personal and eerily relatable.
