    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.

    Based on what I have seen, Disjointed is a series that takes some minor risks but more often caves into the laziest of sitcom clichés. The degree to which you appreciate it will depend largely on how much you’ve enjoyed other previous Lorre works.

    There really are only spotty suggestions of a situation within each episode. And yet, it’s often funny, and many of the characters are oddly appealing--or just appealingly odd--and the rest are at least have amusing moments.

    Ingesting Disjointed is pretty harmless. You might get a buzz, though. There are a few laughs, but I can pretty much assure you that you won’t get addicted.

    Working to hold together the disparate bits and pieces are a likable cast lead by an easygoing Bates, sporting an inconsistent accent, but landing laughs through the show's genial haze.

    If viewers are high enough to think the laugh-track supported sitcom is just another one of the show’s parodies, rather than its core story, perhaps all these muddled blades will come together for an easy burn. That doesn’t say much for what’s there, though. Remove the joint, and Disjointed falls apart.

    The comedy here consists primarily of jokes that would not have been out of place on one of those old Cheech and Chong comedy records. ... The rest of the time, it’s strictly sitcom writing at its most rote.

    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 aThe 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! Full Review »
