Review of Bookie

Bookie (2023– )
2/10
Mismatched unlikeable characters with a Charlie Sheen cameo
1 December 2023
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.
