Average Joe

I really only watched this show because I support all things Chicago (Deon Cole) but was thoroughly impressed. The show was not only nail biting at times but had a funny edge they kept me intrigued the entire time. The incorporation of the African American culture with the Russian culture was the most interesting part of the show. Once again proving that at the end of the day we are all human and love is love. Deon Cole did an amazing job and proved he is much more than a comedian and the next Hollywood actor to watch. Great job and kudos to the entire Average Joe cast and creators. I wish there was another season to look forward to and would love to see this added to the BET+ roster of programming.

This was unexpectedly very good. Deon Cole? You can't take a project serious right there, or can you? Cole and the other actors and actresses in this did very well. One of the protaganists is a Dave Chapelle look alike in both speech and comedic wit and timing.

The story itself is intriguing. Its a plot that could've fell flat on its surface but is executed very well here. There is genuine suspense here. Every episode is full of plot points that draw you in and make you either hate or like a character's actions. Netflix or whoever owns the rights has to complete this by coming out with a new season.

I loved this show. It would be totally crazy to not have a Season 2 or more. There are so many things left hanging, and I like many are invested in these characters and need to see what happened to them. It would be a crying same if this turns out to be one of those series that just ends and leaves you wondering. If it does that would be my one and only complaint. The two bad reviews I see here must have some sort of problem to give those reviews or they weren't paying attention. Many people in this country do not want something they have to pay attention to which is why we have so many awful reality shows.

First and foremost, I love the characters and their development as the story progresses. Good writing, great acting and great casting is always a plus and will keep me interested in any show or movie. I enjoy the way the story is told. Each episode starts with a flashback to provide more background about each character. Deon Cole is a great comedian and is showing that he has range as a drama actor. I really hope this shows does not get canceled since it's on BET. I'd love to see it renewed for a season two! Is it perfect? No, however it has great potential to grow and become stronger over time.

This is a breath of fresh air!!! This show is solid, with great writing, acting, atmosphere and more. So many interesting elements- suspense, comedy, mystery. I am only going it a 7 to start because I haven't finished it yet, but I'm thinking I'm coming back to rate higher. I hope more show can evolve like this one on BET. This is HBO level! Keep this one going!!! I'm here for all of it! Love all the actors from the leads to the one liners! Every actor is solid on here! I like how this starts and develops. I wasn't expecting any of this. Deon Cole is layered. The other leads are good veterans as well. Been watching them and glad to see this hopeful successful show continue.
