So much so that viewers may even forgive the early scenes of his new drama \u201cOrdinary Joe\u201d for casting him as a college senior.<\/p>\n<p>Wolk, at 36 a veteran of projects including \u201cMad Men\u201d and \u201cWatchmen,\u201d first came to audiences\u2019 attention on network TV, and it\u2019s to network TV he returns this month. \u201cOrdinary Joe\u201d tracks one character through three lives, investigating the consequences of three possible decisions its protagonist might have made. If, after his college graduation, he spent the day with his family, with his girlfriend (Elizabeth Lail), or with a new and intriguing young woman (Natalie Martinez), his life might have branched in three different directions, which we see 10 years down the line, toggling between potential lives.<\/p>\n<p>In one reality, Wolk plays a rock star; in another, a cop; in a third, a medical professional. In all of them, some fundamental thing seems missing, though, naturally, what that missing element is varies from timeline to timeline. Characters recur throughout: Lail plays Joe\u2019s former college girlfriend Jenny, who becomes in one case his partner in a loveless marriage and in another his ex-partner with whom he reconnects. The presence of Lail, of the first season of \u201cYou,\u201d and of a best friend character played by Charlie Barnett, of \u201cRussian Doll,\u201d intriguingly suggest that network TV is eyeing top talent from among TV\u2019s more experimental and ambitious shows.<\/p>\n<p>But for all the gifted performers onscreen \u2014 not least of them Wolk, a compelling performer who even sells the rocker persona despite often reading elsewhere as a bit of a square \u2014 \u201cOrdinary Joe\u201d feels, in its pilot, a bit stuck. It\u2019s plainly attempting to capture some of the magic of \u201cThis Is Us,\u201d scrambling the equation: While NBC\u2019s signature drama hops through various real times in one family\u2019s life, its new entrant skitters between possible experiences one person might have had, reconfiguring his family each time.<\/p>\n<p>A key difference, though, is that \u201cOrdinary Joe\u201d isn\u2019t just fictional \u2014 it\u2019s hypothetical. \u201cOrdinary Joe\u201d intends to make you feel, with a pilot touching on big, elemental emotions for its characters. And yet we know these feelings are only being evoked by a hypothetical set of circumstances \u2014 we\u2019re celebrating, or mourning with, a story that even within the show\u2019s world is not real. Transitions between the trio of Joes often don\u2019t land, only emphasizing the stagy unreality of the show\u2019s three worlds. There\u2019s raw material here on which the show may yet improve, but in its pilot, at least, \u201cOrdinary Joe\u201d feels a bit too high-concept for its own good.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cOrdinary Joe\u201d premieres Monday, Sept. 20, at 10 p.m. E.T. on NBC.<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-tags \/\/ a-children-icon-bullet lrv-u-font-family-primary u-letter-spacing-012 lrv-u-line-height-large lrv-u-color-brand-primary\">\n<h2 id=\"optional-screen-reader\" class=\"lrv-a-screen-reader-only\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"optional_screen_reader\"><\/span>\n        optional screen reader  <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<nav class=\"o-nav  o-nav lrv-u-border-b-1 u-border-color-brand-secondary-40 lrv-u-border-t-1 lrv-u-text-align-center lrv-u-padding-b-025 u-padding-t-050@desktop u-padding-t-050@tablet u-padding-t-050@mobile-max lrv-u-margin-t-2 lrv-u-margin-b-2\" data-dropdown=\"\">\n<h4 id=\"\" class=\"o-nav__title lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-font-family-secondary o-nav__title a-content-ignore u-line-height-140 u-letter-spacing-0002\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Read_More_About\"><\/span>Read More About:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/nav>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n  !function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    if (f.fbq) return;\n    n = f.fbq = function() {\n      n.callMethod ?\n          n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n    };\n    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n    n.push = n;\n    n.loaded = !0;\n    n.version = '2.0';\n    n.queue = [];\n    t = b.createElement(e);\n    t.async = !0;\n    t.src = v;\n    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n  }(window, document, 'script',\n      'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '586935388485447');\n  fbq('init', '315552255725686');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
