    Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

    The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

    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

    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.

    Joe Pera Talks with You is a show on adult swim that explores the dull life of music teacher Joe Pera, who lives on a small lake superior town in Minnesota. Joe's everyday adventures which may include going to a breakfast diner, or hearing a new song on the radio are the focus of each episode. From reading this review so far, you would think it's a boring show, correct? Well, it is. But the tedium of this show is actually quite refreshing, and extremely calming. Each story is told through the conscious of Joe Pera, who seems to both overcomplicate, and yet oversimplify everything he experiences at the same time. It's probably the most complicated, yet easy to understand shows I've ever watched. While difficult to figure out, you don't find yourself trying to figure it out while watching. This show both opens your eyes to the depth of everyday activities, but is also quite capable of surprising you with a cheap laugh or two through awkward, yet extremely human experiences. Overall, this is an extremely humbling, but also edgy series. Only downfall is Joe Pera's schtick could get old pretty quick. But only time will tell if that's the case. if this review wasn't helpful, my only defense is that this show makes it extremely difficult to make heads or tails of, but it definitely got me thinking enough to review it. Good watch!

    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
