Bupkis (Peacock, 5.4) feels like The King of Staten Island, Part II...no? Starring and co-written by Pete Davidson...same Staten Island deal. A "heightened, fictionalized version of Davidson's life"...ditto. Davidson has a strained relationship with his mom (Edie Falco), as his character did with his Staten Island mom, played by Marisa Tomei. He occasionally hangs with a snappy father figure, played in Staten Island by Bill Burr and by Joe Pesci in Bupkis. Girlfriend: "You run away from people who love you," etc.
