I hate I got saddled with this "show" It came as a single episode with something else I gladly bought. I wish i could give it a ZERO Rating but sadly I can not. Adult Swim RUINS EVERYTHING it creates. This "show" is blasphemous and for some reason Google will NOT Delete it from my list of "shows" I have on YouTube or on Google Play! God have mercy on the creator or this "show" as I will NEVER watch it a second time due to it being of such bad taste and shows stuff that nobody should do! ZERO TOLERANCE!!!

This show have hit people in the face those who been bless by Jesus and that all blacks live in the hood smoking and drinking .At this point churches should stay up and have this show removed and for those blacks that think this show is funny you need wise up and see what they really saying. You don't see them making a show about trailer park Jesus or red neck Jesus and black that agree with this show only down grade his or her self we should be up lifting Jesus and up lift one another.

Oh lighten up! They managed to make Jesus a relatable character doing good in the community. So far, he's helping people fulfill an impossible dream, having hope in the hood, with a chuckle here and there along the way. God may open many avenues to faith. Besides, it's an obvious bridge to other work for these actors.
