    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.

    If the substance of Disjointed seems straight out of 1972, so does its structure.

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

    The result is a mess of a comedy that doesn’t feel as if it belongs anywhere.

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

    Disjointed is ultimately trying to do too many things at once, and as a result just feels sloppy.

    Lorre and Javerbaum disguise Disjointed’s monotonous humor with an intrusive laugh track and cutaway spoofs of TV commercials for potato chips and Marlboros that are funnier than the jokes delivered by Bates and company.

    Most of this show is stupid stoner humor. ... There aren’t enough drugs to find the funny in Disjointed.

    Disjointed operates on another plane of altered consciousness, which may begin to explain this genial, harmless misfire.

    Disjointed doesn’t quite offend as much as its unyielding and unfunny flippancy renders each episode null and void as an experience.

    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.

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!… Full Review »
