Topic: Bookie [Comedy]

https://static.next-episode.net/tv-shows-images/huge/bookie.jpg

A veteran bookie struggles to survive the impending legalization of sports gambling, increasingly unstable clients, family, co-workers, and a lifestyle that bounces him around every corner of Los Angeles, high and low.

Re: Bookie [Comedy]

I'm happy that I discovered this show, great fun to watch. big_smile And only relatively short episodes, never gets boring.

I give it a solid 8/10, highly recommended (if you like this kind of comedy)!

What kind of comedy?  Can you compare it to anything?

2020.  Meh.

I've tried but failed! If you liked https://next-episode.net/hacks or https://next-episode.net/future-man or https://next-episode.net/die-hart (or even https://next-episode.net/mrs.-davis) there's a good chance you'll like Bookie too, but it's not exactly like any of those shows.

Give it a try if the trailer resonates. smile

Not seen Die Hart but I like the rest, I might give Bookie a try, thanks.

Re: Bookie [Comedy]

This is such a good show. The characters are very lovable and relatable. The premise is very basic; run a book and deal with the shit that comes with it. There's not a lot to think about; you just sit back and enjoy the ride.

Re: Bookie [Comedy]

Still going strong, but the episodes are getting shorter and shorter, last one barely 18mins smile

Shows that deserved more runtime:
Abbys | Dead Like Me | Devs | Firefly | Gangsta. | Jack of all Trades | Kevin (probably) saves the World | Lodge 49 | Mrs. Davis | NYC 22 | Powerless | Roadkill | Special Unit 2 | Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi | Stumptown | Surface | The Brave | The Company You Keep | The Crazy Ones | The Finder | The Middleman | Truth Seekers | Two Weeks to Live | Whiskey Cavalier
