Joe Pera Talks with You

This show is one of the most real experiences that the medium has offered. There are countless scenes that, regardless of simplicity, manage to somehow make you feel more human. It is almost intangible what this show can bring to you, and no words could ever do it justice. I'ts all about the little things.

The only thing I can compare Joe Pera with, is Bob Ross making a sitcom.

It's so pure, relaxing, minimalistic, heart warming and I love watching it before going to bed to wash the daily cynicism off.

I want to be more like Joe Pera.

Never has there been a show that is so willing to risk viewer engagement to establish and maintain a unique feel and mood.

The acting, editing, sound design and music all work together very purposefully to create a self-aware experience that is very rewarding for those willing to give it a chance.

Overall there is just so much heart and personality in this show, and if you like the first five minutes then it will probably become your favourite show of all time!

This show is unlike anything I've watched. Joe Perra is an incredible actor playing a socially awkward but good hearted man that talks and acts like hes 80. The humor is dry but not cynical. Absurd but in a subtler way than most adult swim shows, strangely informative at times about topics from rocks to rat prevention, and above all, good lord, this show just soothes your soul. I have not experienced a show like this before or felt the need to leave a review. I really hope it gets another season

My first experience saw this show coming on right after more traditional Adult Swim fare, so my expectation were that Joe would turn into The Joke at some point.

Thankfully that never happened.

Instead I discovered a thoroughly enjoyable, bite-sized experience of a different life. That life may be fictional, but it is entirely believable and sympathetic.

This show is staffed with extraordinary talent throughout. The writing. The cinematography. The acting. It is rare that any of it fails to deliver a result closing on perfection.

I would never have tried this show had I read the synopsis, or understood its sincerity. The premise is one that I just wouldn't believe they could deliver on. So instead I went in expecting something mean-spirited caustic, and paradoxically those low expectations brought me this wonderful show.
