This series takes aim at the silliness of reality TV by having a group of improv actors play reality-show stereotypes (the stalker guy, the hot girl) and throwing some unsuspecting person into the mix who doesn't know the setup. The actors and crew try to keep Joe Schmo from discovering the hoax, something made more difficult by the increasingly over-the-top nature of the show-within-the-show, all designed to see how far the producers can push this "reality." And of course, will the actors be convincing enough or will the unsuspecting contestant figure it all out?

I just couldn't enjoy "The Joe Schmo Show,..." watching Chase get fooled over and over again. Go to Full Review Scott Von Doviak AV Club 01/08/2020

A full post-game/reunion show would have been welcome, but as it is, the finale made for compelling, if at times excruciating, viewing. Go to Full Review Andy Dehnart Reality Blurred 03/06/2020

The show works because, like all great reality television, there's something real happening within a constructed context. Go to Full Review Mark A. Perigard Boston Herald 01/09/2020
"Schmo" is sometimes at its most interesting when it goes behind the scenes and shows the producers frantically trying to manage all the twists. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
