    SunnyHello Nice effects though.
    GazerRise Fantastic!
    SincereFinest disgusting, overrated, pointless
    Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
    Johnny Banderas First off, anything with my man John Witherspoon in it, I'm watching! Also they have other famous black comedians in it. Show had me rolling especially season 2. Boonie is one of my favorite characters. I was glad to see King Bach is in it too from his work on Youtube. I think they need to explore his character more. He is underutilized. The main character was actually the guy from Grand Theft auto v, the one that talked so much crap all the time it was funny. Glad to see him in person. The chick Maggie is fine as hell. Charlie Murphy is my man too, glad to see him in there as well. Its just an all around silly show. Fun to watch over a beer or something. Good comedy, I really enjoyed it and waiting for season 3. Watch the episode 7 in season 2. Keep up the good work ya'll and thanks for the laughs. Boootyyyy!!!
    Anthony Salazar The show is modern day millennial comedy. Gerald "Slink" Johnson's Personality as Jesus infects you with happiness, that man knows how to act. His ability to brighten your day is truly amazing, in addition to the biblical life lessons in every episode. Hands down my favorite show of all time, it is teaching me to be a better person. It has even given me the motivation to start my own charity. I'm pushing that World Peace pimps!!!!!So if this offends you, quit crying, it has changed my perspective on life and it can for others, I honestly hope this never ends, so quit hatin' we out here spreading peace and love to the world, or keep hatin' I love you anyway. #FightFireWithWater #FightHateWithLove P.s. Cuss words aren't sins, unless they are meant in a bad or hateful way, we created these words, they take on the meaning you give it. So quit hatin' start helping. 🌍✌️👍
    xophr No real spoilers, except one case were explained one scene in the series. Nonetheless I marked the spoilers box to avoid being banned.When I first heard about this show I thought it would be an unfunny typical stereotypical show, so I didn't even watch the first episode.I finally decided to give it a chance and I must say it IS quite stereotypical, but somehow at the same time it's pretty well written and funny. Hearing Black Jesus quote Bible versus but laced with profanity is weird but funny. Being raised by a religious mother and grandparents I must say it feels a little awkward laughing at some of this stuff, but I'm old enough to make my own decisions and while I do consider myself a Christian and I believe in a higher power I'm also open minded and not wound up so tight that I can't enjoy some light hearted fun. Though some of the things Black Jesus does go against what we were generally taught Jesus would NOT do. (profanity, drugs, lying, that he does turn to truth by performing a miracle), he does somehow follow the overall message of the bible. He encourages free will, loving everyone, and tries to steer his followers away from sin like vanity. In one episode he injures a gang member by hitting him with a stone from a sling shot, but then turns around and heals him which was absolutely hilarious.This cast is also well done. Charlie Murphy has a major role as the overbearing landlord. I find Charlie to be naturally funny because of his mannerisms and facial expressions so he is perfect for this show. Clarence Witherspoon (bang bang guy), plays a convincing role as a smart mouthed conniving homeless man. There are other familiar faces as well.As expected many Christian groups are offended by this show claiming it attacks Christians, and some are even offended of the idea of Jesus being black. To this point, I pose this question, If you were truly a Christian then what difference does it make what race he was? If you are an uptight bible thumper that has no sense of humor whatsoever, believes that no one should buy alcohol on Sundays, or that anyone who doesn't agree with everything you believe in is going to hell, then don't even bother watching, you will be offended; probably to the point of protesting demanding the show be taken off the air (Oh wait, that has already happened). For all the rest, Atheists, Christians or any other religion, then this show is worth a look. Some episodes are better than others and while it's not the best show on television, i certainly find it entertaining.
    OpPMan If you like the Boondocks you will love Black Jesus, the jokes and dialog should make you feel right at home.Shows is witty and shows Jesus incarnated as a regular black man living in present day America (Compton) facing real problems with real people. Jesus is face with current day decisions where every now and gain he has to tell a lie or perform a miracle to protect his "homies".The show tries to send a positive message each time, for example trying to convert an atheist to a believer, double crossing a drug deal gone bad.Black Jesus is not offensive to Christians, its humor ,comedy, meant to be entertainment. Its our right to free speech.
