* SpiritualSuccessor: To ''Series/{{Awake}}''. Different color-coded realities stemming from one fateful moment play out and intermingle in front of the viewer. The main difference being that in ''Ordinary Joe'' the main character doesn't seem to be aware of the different timelines, and there's no insinuation that one or more of them must be hallucinations like there was in ''Awake'' (where the main character was seeing a different shrink in each reality).
