SEASON 1 – AVERAGE JOE

2023, Comedy List

86% Tomatometer 7 Reviews 92% Popcornmeter 100+ Ratings
Inspired by the life of creator Robb Cullen, Average Joe is a darkly comedic,
intense one-hour drama set in "The Hill" district of Pittsburgh. Blue-collar
plumber, Joe Washington, discovers his recently deceased father lived a secret
second life and stole millions of dollars from dangerous people just before he
died. Now those people think Joe knows where the money is. A bloody and violent
confrontation triggers a chain of events that force Joe and his close-knit
circle of family and friends out of their very average and mundane lives into a
life-or-death race against time to find the truth and the millions. Read More

CRITICS REVIEWS

View All (7) Critics Reviews
Nandini Balial RogerEbert.com What makes “Average Joe” stand out is its lively
and funny dialogue, delivered with sharp ease by its talented cast. But it’s the
writing that ultimately diminishes these contributions into something more,
well, average. Jul 7, 2023 Full Review Judy Berman TIME Magazine Fast-paced and
addictive, with strong performances and a supremely twisted sense of humor. Jul
4, 2023 Full Review Kristen Baldwin Entertainment Weekly Created by Robb Cullen
and enhanced by an appealing ensemble, Average Joe serves up an inventive blend
of hair-raising crime thriller suspense, dark humor, and thorny family drama.
Rated: B+ •  Jun 30, 2023 Full Review Rob Owen Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
Cullen’s scripts are equal parts tension-filled snafus for Joe and his friends
and bits of hilarious dialogue that, situationally, sound right for the moment.
Jul 10, 2023 Full Review Whitney Evans TV Fanatic An exciting setup, intriguing
characters, and dynamics will always be a recipe for success. Rated: 4.5/5 •

Audience Member What an unexpected show. Pretty entertaining through the first 4
episodes. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/23/24 Full Review Wally W
The 1st couple episodes were good then it got kinda dumb - they stretched maybe
a 4 or 5 episode show into 10 episodes. The length made the plot get stupid. The
ending didn't want me to watch another season, I think it was supposed to. Rated
2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/21/24 Full Review Tracy J The story
line and acting are great! It is good to see Deon Cole in a more serious role,
combining light humor. The entire cast is great! Highly recommend watching!
Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/20/24 Full Review prawnda s this is
really generic and the delivery is consistently slow, soapy and redundant. it
should never have been a series, and it may not even be enough for one movie.
Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 08/20/24 Full Review Cuan Chai M
Let's all say a prayer: Dear Lord, I know Tyler Perry owns BET+ and,
essentially, the rights to this show, but please keep him far away from this
unexpected gem of a TV series. Season 1 was so well-acted, well-written, and
well-produced. I hope we get a Season 2 on Netflix (via BET+). Amen. Rated 5/5
Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/20/24 Full Review Nina S #averagejoe so
