Black Jesus

There is really nothing wrong with this show. It's comical and actually shows positive values and will help people young and old who don't quite know about Christ, or even going to church for that matter. Jesus is actually showing the morals and giving scripture, the only thing is he's cussing when he's doing it. Why? He's from Compton! He's in the hood. This is based off somebody's imagination, if Jesus was in the hood and could say what he wanted, how would he say it? How do people feel about Christ and what would you actually want to say to Christ? I'm born and raised in the church and I'm laughing. It's hilarious! My father who has been in the church for over 30 years was even laughing. He didn't know what it was, he just happened to sit down to see what I was watching. My point is, you really have to an open mind and not jump to conclusions so fast about what something is about until you sit down and watch it. It may not be everyone's taste, but it doesn't make it bad just because you disagree with how someone is presenting their imagination if Jesus was from Compton.

Black Jesus is nothing to be upset about, and yet Hardcore Religious Freaks will.

The show is funny, and I got a good few laughs out of it. It's humor isn't for everyone, but you can tell unlike some Live Action Adult Swim Shows, this one has effort in the writing, the casting, and uses the Location to it's fullest. It was a good Pilot that made me want to see more.

It's a good way to show that it's OK to laugh at certain things, especially Religion. Black Jesus is Harmless, and I will continue to watch it. I think if Jesus Christ were here, he'd learn to take a good rib at himself, so other people should too. People will still complain and say negative things, but I will just take it as what it is, something that can be enjoyed, laughed at, and not taken in a harmful way. It's not a show meant to attack religions, it's not a show meant for Children clearly, so in the end, it's just harmless fun to me.

Smoke, Drink, Chill, and don't get so worked up over it. Black Jesus is a Comedy I can't wait to see more of.

this show is well-written, funny and actually contains some surprises. I read a few reviews claiming that it mocks Christianity and so on but believe me, those people haven't watched the show. I say that because the reviews they write complain about things that this show simply doesn't contain.

the show is about a black Jesus in Compton who hangs around a crew of failures and whilst he intends to grow weed, he holds high morals akin to the Christian Jesus.

It's a witty show not totally unlike the movie "Friday" but with a lot of heart and uplifting moments.

Not overly odd like a lot of Adult Swim stuff.

I liked it and I'd recommend watching the show before you judge it.

Didn't have any expectations for this show. Only knew that it was a comedy about a black Jesus. So, in need of good laugh, I watched and was happily entertained. Love Jesus' interaction with the folks in the hood. Aaron Mcgruder's jokes are hysterical and quick. One right on top of another. I had to "rewind" a couple of times to catch some of the jokes because I was laughing so hard. I love how McGruder has taken the sensitive subjects of race, religion and economics and managed to fold them into a comedy. All of this and social commentaries.

I'm looking forward to future episodes and will definitely recommend to others.

Aaron McGruder's Black Jesus pilot doesn't completely deliver on its hype, but its admittedly good natured and charming. It's a standard pilot, introduction of important characters and letting us know a piece of their person lives and problems. I do feel that the show would better benefit from a 45 - and an 1hr time slot. At 22 minutes the show felt a little rushed, but i suppose in time I will get used to it.Some might complain of the stereotypes portrayed here, but none of them are completely unbelievable or "cartoonish" or even insulting in nature. What we have here is a show that obviously means well and doesn't even disrespect its "source material" if you can call it that. Of course, Black Jesus does curse like a sailor...which is one of the shows charms. Knowing McGruder's past work I can confidently say that this show is in good hands and i predict nothing but greatness before the end of the first season.
