Average Joe

Season One Episode One

If you want something lighthearted and will keep you hooked on what will happen next, this is your show. You can found it on BET Plus.

Joe is an average guy who gets mixed up the Russian mob. Joe’s father has just died from a fire and goes to the office to clean it up. The mob shows up at his tow truck shop looking for money that the father owes them. They ask Joe for the combination to the safe and Joe says he does not know it. They proceed to break his fingers.

The guys that are sent from the Russian mob are not what you would expect. When I think of the mob, it’s scary to look at them. They look like average guys to me. Joe gets in a scuffle with the guys and ends up killing them. Yes, average Joe does this.

Joe has a friend Leon that shows up because he sees Joe’s truck parked in front of the shop. Leon looks through the window and sees these two guys attacking Joe. But when Leon finally gets into the office, he sees the dead bodies. Now they must figure out what to do.

Joe proceeds to tell Leon he does know the combination to the safe. He opens it and finds 100,000 dollars and a key. Now the two really don’t know what to do. They have all this money and two dead bodies. They decide to keep the money and Joe gives Leon 20% to keep him quiet.

Angela, Joe’s wife, has been calling him and she can’t get through. She calls Joe’s friend, Touch, who also happens to be a police officer. Touch reassures Angela that he is going to go find Joe. Touch passes by the the shop and sees Joe’s truck and Leon’s car. Touch goes in and sees the two dead bodies and the money. Now Touch says he must call it in; but is also convince by Joe and Leon not to call the cops and gets 20% of the money.

Now at this point, the men are trying to come up with this plan to get rid of the bodies; and to take Joe to the hospital to get his broken fingers looked at. Touch specifically tells his friends not to mention what had happened to anyone. Not to even mention what their plan is.

Once Joe, Leon and Touch leave the shop, everything goes downhill. Again, if you want to watch a show that doesn’t take a lot of thought, this is your show. And I didn’t even mention everything else that happens in the episode. Enjoy.
