Plot: Ordinary Joe was a short-lived TV series created by Matt Reeves, best known for directing 2022's Batman. The series takes a what-if approach to the life of Joe Kimbreau (played by James Wolk), who starts as a graduate from Syracuse University, following which his life diverges into three different timelines. In one timeline, Joe becomes a police officer like his dad before him. In another timeline, he's a musician pursuing fame and fortune. And in the third timeline, he's a mild-mannered nurse.
Elizabeth Lail plays the role of Jenny Banks, Joe's high-school girlfriend, who had a child with him out of wedlock. If Joe becomes a police officer, Jenny is an additional district attorney who's been keeping the existence of their child a secret. If Joe becomes a musician, Jenny is a hotshot lawyer who put their child up for adoption. And if Joe becomes a nurse, he's actually married to Jenny and is raising their child with her while working through marriage difficulties. Ordinary Joe was cancelled after a single season of 13 episodes.
