Average Joe

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.

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.

This show is one for the books! I ordered BET+ just to give Average Joe a try and to support Deon Cole. It's a surprising breath of fresh air, well written and well acted by the entire cast. A cranky, crime dramedy that ranks up there with shows like Fargo and Breaking Bad. And it's just nice to see such a diverse cast with black folks at the helm, embroiled in a story line that is anything but typical. This Average Joe project is so far removed from what you'd expect from the BET network.

The show's creator put some serious thought into the story and it just hits on all cylinders. Not sure where this will go after the first season or if it's simply meant to be one season, as BET is notorious for greenlighting shows and cancelling after one season. Hopefully Average Joe keeps going past one season or simply goes down as one of the best original shows the network has ever seen. Either way, bravo, Deon Cole and cast...bravo!

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.

BET or black entertainment television although technically correct for this series is doing it a disservice as it's limiting its audience.

This is a complete blockbuster that does not miss a step.

Black white Asian Latino Martian whatever this needs to be simultaneously broadcast on additional networks.

Yes the preponderance of cast are black but that has nothing to do with this show.

Except to show that everyone faced with the similar circumstances can turn into a sociopath.

Love hate complete disbelief are all social aspects to everyday life and everyone experiences them regardless of race.
