Joe Pera Talks With You
It's a treasure and it's hard to get people to watch it. I've watched the series all the way through at least four times, by now. It's sadly short, so not too hard to do.
Fuckin great show
Being from the UP and having lived many years in Marquette, that yooper accent is so far off I can hardly watch it. I like the humor tho, and i've watched a fair chunk of the show.
It took me awhile to get used to it, too, because I was pretty sure he was doing shtick. And I'm sure he's laying it on a little thick for the character, but eh...I think he's kinda just like that?
His weird grandfather appeal totally worked for me. A man operating at a quieter/calmer frequency than the chaotic world around him, completely at peace with his lot in life.
I think I like what he represents, more than who he is
