The show is broad, for sure, but it has some distinctions. It’s best strength is the warm ensemble, led by Bates. ... The issues underneath the humor--the threat of corporate takeover, the medicinal applications of pot, the cultural shift from defiance to compliance--pull the show in interesting directions.

Though many of the show’s jokes center around pot humor (one episode ends with a character sitting in her parked car, convinced she’s driving down the highway), there’s also some depth. Read full review

Based on the limited evidence provided by Netflix, Disjointed is also discombobulated and too often dim-witted. There’s some cleverness amid its clutter. But Bates was better served as the bearded lady in American Horror Story: Freak Show. Read full review

Bates convinces as a hippie trying to resist transforming into a curmudgeon, and her performance would truly soar in a show that endeavored to contrast Ruth's charisma with a sincere exploration of her flaws. But Disjointed refrains from such inquiry, feigning intelligence through vulgarity and unfocused irony. Read full review

While "The Big Bang Theory" producer Chuck Lorre clearly felt liberated plying his trade for Netflix, the resulting stoner comedy, Disjointed, runs on fumes. Read full review

A second-rate multi-camera laugh-in filmed before a live studio audience. Read full review

Dave Nemetz

Aug 23, 2017

Across the board, Disjointed is marred by very broad, yell-y acting, with the cast straining to sell woeful jokes that range from tired pothead stereotypes (boy, are they forgetful!) to vulgar double-entendres. Read full review

I don't think the pot is the problem. I feel like the writers wanted to write something original and ended up using recycled jokes, which can be hilarious sometimes.

You may not like this show after watching he first episode, but it gets some getting used to. The cast is adorable and some of the issues tackled are relevant

The negative reviews of this show are pretty harsh. Are some of the jokes a little forced and have obvious setups? Sure. But it's a fantastically funny program if you relax and just let it be its original setting self. This is clearly dedicated to a certain crowd..which I happen to be a partThe negative reviews of this show are pretty harsh. Are some of the jokes a little forced and have obvious setups? Sure. But it's a fantastically funny program if you relax and just let it be its original setting self. This is clearly dedicated to a certain crowd..which I happen to be a part of. The cutaways and commercials are magnificent if you had earlier consumed a medicinal cookie! Also, Netflix is the perfect medium for this show-it's about time there's a program taking place in a dispensary. Kathy Bates is a great choice in the lead as a veteran political activist. Betsy Sodaro is brilliant as well! I don't, however, like the live audience: in my opinion it should never be used. In conclusion, I'm just a random, non-important guy in the Midwest and I loved it. I hope there's many more episodes to come!… Expand

I think many people won't watch the show because of what a couple of critics have said. Don't do that. Give the show a chance. It might not be the best, but the topics it addresses are important.

Please google as i did reviews for the show and see just how much people are hating on it. I really dont know why, as a film major, medicinal and recreational weed advocate, family member of PTSD patient and huge fan of the show i am appalled at some of the opinionated and Clearly government funded reviews on the show to try and prevent a second season. Check Voges terrible article on it. None of these "professional" websites offering reviews mention how it sheds light on so many current issues of our time not just surrounding the pot industry. Carters story is heartwarming and just the tip of the ice berg when it comes to this show, other cultural issues and social injustice issues are tackled either subliminally or directly and in a comedy sitcom style. I think this show is a powerful tool for anyone involved in this industry, as a patient or a dispensary owner or whatever, this show was just absolutely amazing and enjoyable and was able to even convince my very old fashioned parents to want to try to smoke weed. please anyone reading this continue to spread the gospil of the show. This is a show i think everyone should watch for some clear knowledge on the world and how medical marijuanna can really help people in need. it is just all around a fantastic show, weather you agree with how it was filmed or not or some of the jokes look at the bigger picture.… Expand

Kathy Bates does a pretty well job portraying an activist. She is able to bring nuances to her character, but it feels like she's miscasted here and her talent falls short.

Overused 80's laugh track.... Do I need to say more? Seriously I thought all directors/producers knew that there hasn't been any critically acclaimed, popular shows featuring a laugh track since Friends! (or at least half of it). Unless you have a big 90's sitcom nostalgia thing going on,Overused 80's laugh track.... Do I need to say more? Seriously I thought all directors/producers knew that there hasn't been any critically acclaimed, popular shows featuring a laugh track since Friends! (or at least half of it). Unless you have a big 90's sitcom nostalgia thing going on, avoid this show at all costs. Even the heaviest stoners will find Disjointed's pacing incredulously slow and dull.… Expand
