Alive From New York isn't quite the special that people wanted from Pete Davidson. But it's close. You hope that, when he records a second one, he'll be able to get closer still.

[Davidson] may be stitching together all the pieces of his life and examining them for the odd, remarkable, tragic, difficult, unlikely events they are. But as an hour of comedy, the work is not finished.

The material is clearly not entirely honed and the forthright anger and self-deprecation is as fascinating as the genuinely humorous material.

A tight 49-minute show that lacks the tick-tock rhythm of a comedy special and feels more like a therapeutic happy hour.

Alive from New York, is a deflating slog of a special that Davidson seems to know isn't much good, and to which the tentative audience isn't quite sure how to react.

There were some very high highs and some very low lows...the 49-minute special is a pretty wild ride. Like, yes, I was chuckling almost the whole time, but there were low points, friends...

Pete Davidson is in this Netflix special really unfunny and boring. It felt like three hours and not 49 minutes. Sometimes I got the feeling, he was unprepared and completely freestyled his jokes in a bad way.

Solid effort for a young comedian's first major standup special. This one was more about telling stories rather than just telling jokes like his old Comedy Central special SMD was. Pete has shown to be able to do both types of standup well.

One of the worst comedians I've ever watched. 1 out of 10 jokes land. Wow, how is this guy on a special?

How in hell does this guy have a career? He lacks so much talent I'm thinking a trade school maybe?
