This is thematically groundbreaking — the dawn of New Sincerity on TV that encourages kindness in an era of nihilism, political divide alienation. This is the next step after Mr. Rogers, and unlike Mr. Rogers, it is not pitched at an age group. Family-friendly yet complex and mature, rarely sad but always uplifting, informative yet light-hearted, respectful of your time, with an incredible score that works with the episodes, makes you feel like being a better person. Some won't know whether to laugh, or how to appreciate this show, but all will feel entertained for reasons they cannot explain. It is because something this wholesome is rare.… Expand

As if Forrest Gump were stripped of all its Hollywood clichés, romanticism, heavy-handedness and all-around nonsense, and what would be left was a subtle yet subversive critique of our shallow, loud, brash, nihilistic and selfish society. Its cinematography is disharmingly charming and artistically fuses form with content. This slow, clever control of every frame is of course a tonge-in-cheek contrast not only with our main protagonist but also the prevailing and repetitive camera work of all those self-important brooding shows that are everywhere to be seen.… Expand

No single piece of media makes me happier than Joe Pera Talks With You. The writing is weird yet perfect for Joe, and every short episode makes you slow down to appreciate day to day life in a truly wonderful way.

Additionally, the show packs a lot of heart. From the relationships that Joe observes to the ones he experience, you can clearly see the human connection, even if it’s rough sometimes. The last few episodes are particularly gut wrenching. I did not expect this show to make me tear up but it did. Finally, the show touches on subject matter we are currently facing now. How should we live when all these imminent and important threats loom over our futures. I’m interested to see how season 3 will continue to address this subject matter in a post COVID-19 world. Definitely worth a watch.… Expand

The humor is spot on, but the show shines in the heart it presents and the tone that induces a melancholic state in the audience that feels so new and yet so familiar. The only downside is that this show is only ten minutes long per episode! Although they make great use of the time allotted, I would love to see episodes of up to 22 minutes.

I've literally cried multiple times during the show as cheesy as that sounds. He's helping me turn the page and helped me realize that life is too short, and that I shouldn't take anything for granted, no matter how small.

This show is so special. It's hyper attuned to the quietly vulnerable/fallible aspects of people's personalities and social situations, but rather than pushing us to laugh at them, the show is a love letter those those moments. It causes me to laugh in a way that dilates my pupils and then makes me weep a little, rather than splitting my sides and making me feel superior in what I perceive as my normalcy relative to the characters and their antics (which feels like most comedy on tv today). It makes me want to walk outside and watch people and listen to them closely. Joe Pera plays a character who would be considered socially awkward and likely neurodivergent by most accounts. These sorts of main characters are usually either portrayed as lovable but ultimately a laughing stock for viewers' entertainment, or they are pathologized such that their ultimate triumph is overcoming their "differences" enough to achieve the kinds of goals and expectations that the rest of neurotypical capitalist society deems valuable. JPTWY falls to none of that. The show's fuel is Joe's intense perceptiveness, kindness, attentiveness to his middle class carework career, the breadth of his knowledge, and the beauty and comedy inherent in the subjects in which he takes interest. The people in his life are just as fallible and lovely as he is, and in very different ways, and the humor in that discord is ever so gently pulled above the surface and into view during their interactions.

Also, for all its reverence of the mundane, it is incredibly unpredictable. It's so quiet in tone, yet keeps me on my toes at all times. I love that combination. Some might call its pivots absurdist, but it doesn't quite make it there for me — I think it stays just grounded enough. It seems aware of its own risk of floating away (meta-reflected in Joe's narrative tendencies), and even pokes fun at that sometimes.

Anyway, it's late and this is rambling....it's honestly intimidating to write a review for a show that has given me so much comfort and energy since I discovered it. I want to give all the creators a hug and thank them!… Expand

Like Rogers, Pera speaks directly to us, the viewers, with a soothing, neighborly delivery. In a text to my brother,My brother described this show to me as "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood for Adults", and I think that description is apt. Like Rogers, Pera speaks directly to us, the viewers, with a soothing, neighborly delivery. In a text to my brother, thanking him for recommending the show, I initially got the name wrong. I thought it was Joe Pera Talks To You, but I now realize it's actually Joe Pera Talks *With* You. I think that distinction is important.

You need to go in with the understanding that this show is unlike anything else on television today. It isn't flashy, showy, or over-the-top. Instead, Pera chooses to focus on and amplify the simple beauty that can be found all around us.

For your first viewing, I think it's best to watch this show alone with an empty house (if you can manage it), because unlike other shows, this one is an experience. You aren't just watching Joe go rock hunting, bean planting, and jack-o-lantern carving, you're going there with him. This show made me laugh a deep hearty laugh and, several times, cry. I again recommend doing your first viewing alone, if only so that you don't feel pressured to repress your reactions.

I think this show is so fantastic that I created a metacritic account just to write this review. If you enjoy this show as much as I do, please consider writing a review or sharing it with a friend so that more people can experience Pera's masterpiece.… Expand

This is a really fantastic show, gentle, funny, very well produced, some amazing characters. It has become a firm favourite, and the perfect antidote to the current chaos in the world.

Watching Joe Pera Talks with You is akin to laying under a weighted blanket with a cup of herbal tea in hand—tucked away from the world for a while.

This show is an incredible respite from the darkness that we’ve been living through and I feel immensely grateful that this show exists. I truly hope it gets renewed for a fourth season.… Expand
