    Love Black Jesus! This is the best thing to happen to Christianity in a long time. Finally something positive associated with the faith and a reminder of what it means to follow in Christ's example. Jesus has been depicted as a pasty blue-eyed square for too long. Many of today's Christians think that looking down on and condemning those who they don't approve of is Christian. ILove Black Jesus! This is the best thing to happen to Christianity in a long time.

Many of today's Christians think that looking down on and condemning those who they don't approve of is Christian. I doubt that this is exactly how he would appear in the second coming, but he was a man of the people who cared about the poor and disenfranchised. The message is good and the laughs are great. This Jesus could put the people in the pews.… Expand

    Aaron McGruder understands the epic comedy coming out of everyday life. Even though there is an all-loving, morally democratic, miracle-capable, pot-smoking, keeping it real Jesus, it's how he fits into this fabric of a seemingly godless circumstance(the gang violence in Compton) that we find funny.
    I'm really glad we have this on Television.

    All I can say is that this show was hilarious the cast is awesome I can't see why people are boycotting the show when black jesus is portrayed as a kind and loving person who doesn't take **** from nobody. Now I can be at peace because "BLACK JESUS HAS RISEN!!!

    Black Jesus is certainly a different type of show. That's not a bad thing, a satirical comedy about a modern day Jesus living in Compton. If anyone tells you that this show isn't funny, then they need to lighten up. Black Jesus isn't offensive at all, if anything it brings religion across via a more accessible medium. But the show is very funny, showing Jesus' balance between gangbangingBlack Jesus is certainly a different type of show.

But the show is very funny, showing Jesus' balance between gangbanging with his friends and showing compassion and kindness to everyone regardless of who they are. The jokes are well thought our and don't consist of only physical and grade-school humor. I recommend for anyone who's a fan of a great comedy that doesn't take itself too seriously.… Expand

    Trailer Park Boys set in Compton, but instead of being genuinely funny, its just cliched.
    Heavily cliched.

    Clattenburg meets Hollywood, and sells his soul for an American dollar.

    There are so many funny line's in this show like a woman saying: when's the last time you seen a N**** grow anything? and another one when Lloyd says: I believe in Jesus, I believe in Jesus Christ he's done a lot of miracles except he ain't done sh!t for me! There so many other funny sh!t they say, great show and I'm Australian and I can't wait too see a second season :-)

    As offended as some may be, the show's stoner-friendly humor is innocuous.

    The series, which is confident from the start, its world fully formed and well-performed, isn't a retelling.

    As you’d expect from Mr. McGruder (working with the Canadian writer and director Mike Clattenburg of “Trailer Park Boys”), it’s pretty funny if you give it some time.
