Ordinary Joe (2021–2022)
10/10
A slightly flawed but great Start

Warning: Spoilers
We always ponder ourselves with questions of what if we did that or choose that and what the outcome will be. This show actually does that and makes us witness the titular characters journey based on the three choices he made. The chemistry is off the charts with both actresses especially with Joe and Amy (Wolk and Martinez) that may make the audience see a clear choice but that changed halfway through the episode when we were shown that Amy could also be happy with Joe's best friend Eric (Barnett). One thing for sure is that Jenny will always be a part os Joe's life because they had a son in the three realities, two of which Joe wasn't aware. The episode clearly showed Joe enlightened by Amy in two of three realities, make us wonder if that's who we should root for. The Charisma of James Wolk was unmatched in his portrayal of the three realities and his costars deliver brilliantly as well, Both Nial and Martinez had the emotional aspect down, I shed a tear at the hospital scene when Amy had a miscarriage and blamed herself. Don't get me started on John Gluck, the child was a scene stealer who brought brilliance in every scene he appeared. It may not be for everyone honestly but again you can't judge a series based on a pilot episode.

It has it's moment and for that alone, I'll tune in next week and the week after and so on.
