Bookie (2023)

Watchseries; I was expecting Charlie Sheen to play a significant role in this series, but when I saw "Charlie Sheen (uncredited)", it dawned on me that Chuck Lorry is playing tricks on the viewers to increase the show's popularity. Charlie Sheen would have been a perfect fit for a regular cast member, but instead, Chuck Lorry hired overpaid directors and writers who failed to deliver. The show's stereotypes are unacceptable, and the excessive violence depicted is even more intolerable than Chuck's laugh tracks. It's not surprising that this show is relegated to MaxPlus and not CBS network. People pay for this mindless series on a monthly basis, which is a disgrace. Chuck's inability to write and direct is evident, and if this is the best he can offer, Hollywood should rethink his talent..

Bookie watchseries. I couldn't watch it for more than 5 minutes because even the initial 5 minutes felt like they started without any buildup. They were talking to clients and family without mentioning the point behind it. It was like walking into a call center where a guy is picking up calls repeatedly from different people, and with so many TV show options, I'll skip it for now. Too dull and boring for me. I like Chuck Lorre shows, but I don't think this one is for me as the characters are not likable, the show feel is not good. It's more like a gangster comedy drama, so I don't think I will be able to watch the full episode anytime soon.

Every episode of 'Bookie' is a step above the last, solidifying its place as my third favorite comedy series after the iconic 'Chappelle Show' and 'Key & Peele'. Its weekly release makes Thursdays a highlight, offering a blend of sharp wit and rich storytelling. The series stands out with its unique humor, well-crafted characters, and scenarios that resonate many real-life experiences (e.g. The joy of gifting things that cost no cash

I'm not sure who the audience is supposed to be. Any real gamblers who have interacted with an actual bookie will see through this facade rather quickly. So many fake instances and setups. And everyone else will just be puzzled throughout as it doesn't even make sense how this person makes any money.

Cameos by Ray Romano and Charlie Sheen are strictly Chuck Lorre collecting on favors owed. Nobody wants to be in this. One of their gags is that the money they have collected from a bettor is stinking. They replay this through 4 different characters like it's a home run funny skit.

Barely made it through the pilot episode and done with it. The longevity for watching poor actors clowning around and bumbling through scene after scene is very low. I'll be surprised if this lasts a full season before getting pulled for low ratings.

One word: "Corny". Expected more from Sebastian. I was excited to watch but realized one ep in that this was a miss. The acting is suspect at best. The plot line is fun but it tries way too hard. One weak one liner after another which brings us back to the fact that it's really corny. Will be hard to watch for a whole season. I'm tapping out after two episodes. It even had my guy Charlie Sheen but still wasn't enough to make this watchable. One predictable one liner after another- exhausting. I wanted to like this but between the OVER acting and constant scooby doo next adventure type plot I have to tap out. I am legit shocked that there are so many favorable reviews. I can't believe I'm going to say this because I love his work but Sebastian's acting in this actually hurts to watch .'sorry all, but this has changed everything I thought I liked about Sebastian.

This is the best comedy to come around in a long time. Actually, this series deserves better praise than that because most shows are a total waste of time. I was never a big fan of the stand-up of Sebastian Maniscalco, but he hits his mark here.

Not to give away any spoilers, but when the little birthday balloon flew away, I was rolling on the floor, and it takes a LOT to make me laugh like that. Whoever wrote that bit deserves a decent bottle of scotch in their Christmas stocking.

The humor is consistently dark and to pull this off you need flawed characters, and Danny and Ray are toxic waste dumps on legs. Each episode comes with a great punchline and leaves you wanting more. Please tell me this is coming back for another season.

What would you call the opposite of a feel-good comedy? I think that's what we have here.
