Basic info and plot
Black Jesus is an American comedy and live-action TV series that documents the life of Jesus on a mission to spread love and kindness in present day Compton, California. Created by Aaron McGruder and Mike Clattenburg, the series first aired on Adult Swim on August 7, 2014.
Set in modern times, Black Jesus stars Gerald “Slink” Johnson as Jesus Christ, an outspoken black man who gives the secrets to Steve Jobs’ success, turns water into Hennessy, heads to the night club, among other adventures. Season one episodes included “Gangsta’s Paradise” in which Jesus decides to reunite with his friends from the ‘hood’, and “WTFWBJD” that has Jesus on the run from authorities.
Season 2 of Black Jesus premiered on August 7, 2015 with fresh episodes on Adult Swim. The cable network shares its channel space with Cartoon Network, taking over the airwaves for adult-oriented fun. And seems like viewers can’t get enough of its programming.
Black Jesus has been praised by the Los Angles Times, Variety, The Washington Post and other notable publications, and has consistently averaged nearly 1.2 million viewers per episode. Topping off at nearly 1.3 million viewers for their most successful second season episode, titled “Tasty Tudi’s” in which Fish seduces a city worker into a no limi EBT card. With raving reviews and steady ratings, Adult Swim is fairly likely to renew Black Jesus for season 3. If the network does pick up the show, viewers will likely see a comeback late next summer.
