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.

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 Jul 5, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Steven A An excellent combination of tragedy and comedy, well-acted and well-written. While the conclusion seems abrupt, as if it were pulled with only a few weeks notice, it's a Shakespearean conclusion that is consistent and realistic: no moral ambiguity, no deus ex machina. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/01/24 Full Review The_Matthew S It could be soooo much better but they keep making so many bad decisions it meanders from any realm of believability. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/24/24 Full Review Audience Member What an unexpected show. Pretty entertaining through the first 4 episodes. 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 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 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 out of 5 stars 08/20/24 Full Review Read all reviews
