Ordinary Joe (NBC)

Caught the pilot last night. Elizabeth Lail (Beck from S1 of You) is one of the two love interests. Natalie Martinez (S1 of Secrets & Lies; End of Watch; Self/Less) is the other.
Premise is simple- At his college graduation, Joe reaches an inflection point where he has to choose between 3 options: Go with his college sweetheart, pursue a new girl he just met that day, or spend the evening with his family (including his uncle, who's NYPD, like Joe's dad who died on 9/11)
The episodes split between seeing the three very different lives he lives. In one, he's an ER doctor, in another he follows his passion and becomes a successful pop musician, and in the last, he sticks with the family business and joins the NYPD like his dad and uncle.
There's a really need device they use with color for imagery, with each possibility being represented with predominantly Red, Green or Blue color schemes, thematically, so there's rarely any question in which life you're watching.
Anyone else catch this?

I happened to catch it too. One thing I will point out is that in the storyline where he stays with the original girlfriend I think they wanted us to think he was a Doctor and she was an attorney at first but it was revealed that he is actually a nurse and she is a paralegal. Not being as financially set to take care of the special needs son led him to working the night shift which has led to the marital issues.
Warning end of 1st Episode spoiler below.
I guess the big question for me was in the 2 worlds where he didn’t end up with the girlfriend (Rockstar and Cop) what changed for her to put the kid up for adoption in one and raise him as a single mother in the other. I guess that still has to go back to a choice he made later on?

Maybe they'll get into how Jenny's life was different based on that Graduation Night. It would be an interesting detour, about 2/3 the way through the first season.

I actually enjoyed this way more than I thought I would
Some good acting by Jenny to the rockstar Joe when she told him she was pregnant at graduation and gave it up.

Elizabeth Lail is a great actress. I love her in S1 of You on Netflix. She was also in a horror movie, Countdown, and a number of other projects.

I hope people are still sticking with this show
I really enjoy it
The kid in the wheelchair has good moments every week. Makes me tear up at some point every episode
