this show is well-written, funny and actually contains some surprises. I read a few reviews claiming that it mocks Christianity and so on but believe me, those people haven't watched the show. I say that because the reviews they write complain about things that this show simply doesn't contain.the show is about a black Jesus in Compton who hangs around a crew of failures and whilst he intends to grow weed, he holds high morals akin to the Christian Jesus.It's a witty show not totally unlike the movie "Friday" but with a lot of heart and uplifting moments.Not overly odd like a lot of Adult Swim stuff.I liked it and I'd recommend watching the show before you judge it.

If you like the Boondocks you will love Black Jesus, the jokes and dialog should make you feel right at home.Shows is witty and shows Jesus incarnated as a regular black man living in present day America (Compton) facing real problems with real people. Jesus is face with current day decisions where every now and gain he has to tell a lie or perform a miracle to protect his "homies".The show tries to send a positive message each time, for example trying to convert an atheist to a believer, double crossing a drug deal gone bad.Black Jesus is not offensive to Christians, its humor ,comedy, meant to be entertainment. Its our right to free speech.

To see what this show was all about I tried watching it. It turned out to be just another anti-Christian attack on Jesus Christian and Christians. Basically it has a some black guy, playing Jesus Christ doing things which the actual Jesus Christ would not do. Like weed,gambling and picking up ladies. Hollywood does these attacks more in the form of comedy because people will be more vulnerable when it comes to comedy. People will think its just a joke/entertainment no big deal not realizing its meant as an brainwashing tool or attack. The people who made this clearly have a problem with Christians. But I don't think they would do the same attack Against Muslims portraying Muhammad or attack atheism. Not a surprise this is on Adult Swim they are known to be very Anti-Christian and perverted at night. And why the need to make him black was that another mockery or maybe just about race pushing?Even if this was not about Jesus Christ it would still be a very poorly made show. I regret watching this pathetic show. I predict that even though the show is awful. A lot of atheists will rate this show high purely because of who it's is mocking.I guess Hollywood seems to care more about pushing their immoral agendas than entertainment. They will even sacrifice making more money for pushing their immoral stuff.

Didn't have any expectations for this show. Only knew that it was a comedy about a black Jesus. So, in need of good laugh, I watched and was happily entertained. Love Jesus' interaction with the folks in the hood. Aaron Mcgruder's jokes are hysterical and quick. One right on top of another. I had to "rewind" a couple of times to catch some of the jokes because I was laughing so hard. I love how McGruder has taken the sensitive subjects of race, religion and economics and managed to fold them into a comedy. All of this and social commentaries. I'm looking forward to future episodes and will definitely recommend to others.
