Even if it’s embellished fiction, Bupkis is, in some ways, an intimate look at a young man’s life, struggles, and triumphs. “I try to do nice things,” Davidson is heard saying in one scene in the trailer, “but they still think I’m a joke.” Bupkis highlights the qualities that make Davidson endearing, funny, charming, and likable, along with tackling the challenges he has faced with fame. It’s a who’s who of everyone from comedians and actors to musicians, directors, and politicians. Abrams, Al Gore, Jon Stewart, and Method Man. Davidson stars alongside Edie Falco as his mother and Joe Pesci as his grandfather, but the series also has a lengthy and eclectic list of guest stars including Bobby Cannavale, Ray Romano, Charlie Day, Sebastian Stan, Steve Buscemi, J.J. If you, like many others, are fascinated by the success of Pete Davidson, you will appreciate Bupkis, an action comedy where the former Saturday Night Live (SNL) cast member and comedian plays a fictionalized version of himself. The comedy thriller, co-produced by Jason Bateman, is hilariously dark, but also perfect escapist fun for fans of true crime and shows like Only Murders in the Building and Poker Face.
Naturally, putting such star power into the hands of a charming, narcissistic killer isn’t going to end well, as Ana and Nathan quickly find out when the situation becomes more than they can handle. Rather than go to the police, they decide to present him with an opportunity: sit down with them for an anonymous true crime podcast, stop the killings, and they won’t go to the police. Kaley Cuoco and Chris Messina star as Ava and Nathan, a married couple struggling to pay the bills and keep up with their wealthy friends when a strange opportunity presents itself. They identify a serial killer known as the West Side Ripper, and it turns out, the person is someone they happen to know. But the cast and the twists and turns, along with the level of anticipation from each episode to the next, will have you binging the entire eight-episode first season in one sitting.
The perfect show for fans of true crime, Based on a True Story is absurd and ridiculous in its premise.
