If you can tell me what the fuck this show is all about, I promise to buy you a cup of coffee. Alright, alright, and a danish, muffin or cupcake too.
Yep. That's my knowledge of the show, in a nutshell.
At first, I thought the pilot was intentionally cryptic, obscure. So, I watched the second episode, still didn't get it. Moved on to the third--a head scratcher. But the thing is, I kept watching, and watching, and watching.
Finished the damned season and I still don't have clue.
I suppose it is inevitable, viewers will split right down the middle. You will either love it or hate it.
Loved it. Love the cast: Rebecca De Mornay--Gah! Foxy, foulmouthed grammy!, Brian Van Holt--who knew the guy from Basic and the short-lived sci-fi series Threshold, who as actor, has played clean cut, military types more often than he might have liked, could pull off a down and out, druggie, surfer bum? Ed O'Neill--Al Bundy in an older, more lovable, still nutty package. And the rest of the bunch, not to forget the title character Austin Nichols--who made even the innocuous sounding name John Monad seem a wee bit peculiar. Loved the surfing and the mythos that surrounded the Yost family. The groupies/supporters/hangers-on.
I enjoyed the grainy quality the show took when highlighting particular scenes, I suppose it harkens to the early days of the home video. The music too, I found, fit just right.
I guess one part is clear. I love the show. Waiting for season two. I wonder if there will be a season two. See, even that is a mystery.
So, now tell me. Do you know? Or are you going to give me an "I don't know Butchie instead."
 | The below bit is from one of the crew members who was working on JFC. Hope it helps:
"According to David, 9-11-14 deals with a story line in which there was going to be a attempt of a genocide against the Muslims. "Those towel heads are going to get themselves eradicated." The whole purpose of John's visit was to create an "army" to prevent this from happening.
Cissy is the glue of a family that no matter how fucked up it gets, she protects it and keeps it together. She would be the glue that holds the purpose, the army of those against the genocide together.
Cass is the visionary who is also the media to get the word out that danger is lurking.
Mitch was the spokesman (PSA's) who would do the talking, there by getting back into the game.
Linc is the corporation and money who the world would take seriously and listen to. He is the spin doctor.
Barry, Ramon and Dickstein are the three wise men, brought together at the Snug Harbor, a scruffy dirty place sort of like a barn were a young Jesus now lives.
Shaun is a Jesus.
Freddy and Palaka are warriors to do battle against the enemy.
Bill is the law, and a General.
Doc, well, he's the doctor who initially was going to help the poor from latiin America. Joe was going to smuggle them into the country for Doc to work on. There was once a whole story point about the Doc helping children with hairlip malformations.
tid bit: During the "parade" there was a man on the side walk who told Tina that he would jerk off to her movies. That was an incarnate of Mr. Rollins. When John started talking back to him, berating him, Mr. Rollins was suppose to turn into a pile of dust. Digitally of course. " |
| And no second season either. Sorry, kid. See below:

 | Drat! Was really looking forward to the second season, expecting more confounding episodes that I can't help but watch. Oh well. |
