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

sinisternarrator 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!

brycebucher This show is one of the most real experiences that the medium has offered. There are countless scenes that, regardless of simplicity, manage to somehow make you feel more human. It is almost intangible what this show can bring to you, and no words could ever do it justice. I'ts all about the little things.

dst-thomas Joe Pera Talks with You is the new show I never knew I wanted so badly. I turn to Cartoon Network for entertaining short-duration shows, such as Mike Tyson Mysteries. They're blessedly brief and to the point, and I can watch them as a matter of convenience on my DVR. Joe Pera's schtick is a grandfatherly teacher who presents the various minutiae of life from a thoughtful perspective. My take is that if he weren't such a well-intentioned, sincere character he would be mostly rejected by "normal" society. But our hero manages to win the day while living comfortably between two worlds - the outside world where we meet life, and his inner world of perspectives, knowledge, and values. The overall mood of the show is calming, with "Joe Pera Reads You The Church Announcements" (S1E6) becoming surprisingly edgy. So I've seen 6 episodes so far, and have become a huge fan. Although each episode is self-contained enough that you can dive in, the episodes also present threads relating to themes and personal relationships that you can follow - not knowing some of them will make scenes in some episodes seem random. Thank you, Joe Pera, for talking with me.
