ChikPapa Very disappointed :(
Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring
Palaest recommended
Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
briandsmith-35748 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
i_ashton Set in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, in the town of Marquette, the viewer is invited into the daily world of a socially awkward middle school choir teacher and his local friends. Far from the worn-out & predictable sarcasm of so much television comedy, Joe's humor is subtle, dry, charming, and incredibly endearing to the point of making you want to know the character personally. By way of each episode, Joe takes us on a journey through various topics such as: how great breakfast is, Jack-o'-lanterns attaining 1/16th of the pumpkin carver's soul & how to re-grow your soul, talking you back to sleep since you are awake so late, what it's like to hear an amazing song for the first time before you heard it played 20 billion times, and even the Rat Wars of Alberta, Canada and more! Accompanied by a cast of fantastic characters, the show's often-humorous - and sometimes subtle - references to the odd qualities of Michigan's Upper Peninsula culture are so sharply accurate, it really makes me wonder if one of the producers of the show might have spent significant time there. Do yourself a favor and take the time to really watch this wonderful show. You'll love it.
avdad-61644 This show is not only very funny, but relaxing in a way. Everyone I have shown this to loves it. The show is entertaining, and has great commentary on simple things, and this is fortified by the storyline, which makes the viewer want to keep watching as well. I will say, it is not a typical adult swim program, but it is a very calm, yet funny, show to hang out and enjoy
throwbackretro I don't understand why this is getting a positive reception. That's just my personal thought on the show. This show is just not good. It doesn't deserve a second season and it doesn't feel like an [AS} show. Should've been on IFC instead of Adult Swim.
