Joe Pera Talks with You

I very highly recommend you watch it. It is my new favorite show. This stuff is truly breaking new territory. There is nothing quite like it. I hope this show gets the recognition it deserves. True warm and fuzzy feelings in a sometimes scary world we live in

I was being evicted from my home, my husband was about to divorce me because I couldn't have children, and my mother was soon to be dead. I moved in with my sister and her husband and children, was staying downstairs on their couch. I turned this on. Apparently it was the premiere night. I cried. Of sheer joy. Because so many of these things are relatable to me. Especially the fact her was a teacher. As so was I. For 14 years. And now. I feel like as though Joe is my godsend. My spiritual husband. Thank you Joe. For giving me the strength to move on and build my life back. It's been over a year since this show premiered. And I'm still here. I have my own home again, my life is getting back to normal. And I'll always remember just how much this show and Joe helped me in that dark time. Please. Adult Swim. I bet you. Give us season 2. I've been so patient and good this year. And I'll consider it my *Pera-Sonal* ;) Christmas present if you please just give me if any just ONE more season. Please and thank you. :)

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

My first experience saw this show coming on right after more traditional Adult Swim fare, so my expectation were that Joe would turn into The Joke at some point.

Thankfully that never happened.

Instead I discovered a thoroughly enjoyable, bite-sized experience of a different life. That life may be fictional, but it is entirely believable and sympathetic.

This show is staffed with extraordinary talent throughout. The writing. The cinematography. The acting. It is rare that any of it fails to deliver a result closing on perfection.

I would never have tried this show had I read the synopsis, or understood its sincerity. The premise is one that I just wouldn't believe they could deliver on. So instead I went in expecting something mean-spirited caustic, and paradoxically those low expectations brought me this wonderful show.

Never has there been a show that is so willing to risk viewer engagement to establish and maintain a unique feel and mood.

The acting, editing, sound design and music all work together very purposefully to create a self-aware experience that is very rewarding for those willing to give it a chance.

Overall there is just so much heart and personality in this show, and if you like the first five minutes then it will probably become your favourite show of all time!
