One of the reasons Pete Davidson’s tumultuous 2018 was so surprising is that, well, we’re not used to Pete Davidson being surprising. Even on Saturday Night Live, a show that delights in pushing its actors into ever-stranger scenarios, he tends to play variations on a type: the young slacker who meets all of life’s complications with an indifferent shrug and an oblivious smile.
Naturally, Big Time Adolescence finds him playing basically that character, yet again. This time, however, it’s played with enough nuance to suggest there’s more to Davidson than that schtick.
