Average Joe

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.

I do not know what I expected from this show, I hadn't seen any trailers or anything. All I knew was Deon Cole was in it and I had recently become a fan of his after I started watching Black-ish and I saw and enjoyed two of his stand up specials on Netflix. BET shows a lot the time for me have been hit and miss with some gems here and there. This show? Is most definitely a gem. It's a drama but it has an adequate mix of comedy in it for good measure, especially the character Leon he is a funny character. Everybody's reaction to the given situation feels natural and accaurate. My main critique however is that some of the action scenes felt a bit awkward, they could have redone some here and there. I had no idea Deon Cole had this level of acting range in him, he's really good as the main protaganist. If you liked those TNT crime shows like Claws or Animal Kingdom, you'll probably enjoy this show. Or maybe if you liked shows like Good Girls or maybe Ozark from Netflix, then you'll enjoy this.

This show is so good I really hope it stays on for a long time. Everyone in this show show the best of their acting skills. I can't wait for the next season! I'm not going to give out any spoilers because you need to go watch for yourself, but I will say that it has Action, Thrills, Violence, Family, Love, Pain and Sorrow. Lord this show was SO FREAKING GOOD A MUST WATCH AND MY FAVORITE SHOW. The suspense alone will have you up waiting after 12 am for it to air. My husband didn't want to watch it and after about the first ten minutes of the first episode, he was all in. Just watch the show!!!!

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.

The whole story line was good, the video production was a step up from low budget (which I love), but other than that it's a great story line. Cole did his thing on this! His facial expressions were ugly asl lol he looked constipated but overall his acting and the casting was great. This will go down as a classic movie, I know it'll be platinum in the black household. But a great series did not expect it to be this good, this was a show I needed in my life. Hopefully we can get more shows that are this intense and great of a storyline. I could've seeing this being a movie, but I think they did a great justice by spreading it out. The 10 million really was a great concept because it exposed everyone.
