Tonight’s episode of Ordinary Joe on NBC at 10p is moving the show forward by revealing a lot of things about Joe, Jenny, and Amy in all three timelines.
Rock Star Joe (James Wolk) is getting closer to finding the son that his ex-Jenny (Elizabeth Lail) put up for adoption nine years ago. What happens when he tells Jenny that?
Cop Joe is getting closer to Amy (Natalie Martinez). However, the fact that he killed a man on the job is starting to affect everything in his life, including his relationship with Amy. Can their second chance of love be over before it gets started?
Nurse Joe and Jenny’s marriage is hanging by a thread. They are going to therapy to see if they can try to save it, but there are so many obstacles in their path. There is one that might change everything.
Tonight’s episode is a game-changer as the writers and actors are finally finding their footing as they tell three different stories for the same people.
However, what I really think they need to do to help the viewers, is do standalone episodes. They need to dedicate episodes to just one of Joe’s timelines. It worked for This Is Us, and I think it will work for Ordinary Joe.
This way, we can invest in each timeline and each version of the characters. It is hard to do that when you have three actors playing three different versions of one person in three different timelines. I could be wrong, but I think it will help everyone to truly be able to delve into each Joe, Jenny, and Amy. What do you think?
