    Tone Bell and Kathy Bates are amazing screen partners. They are the best part of the show for me. Even if they cancelled it after one season, i'd still binge it again.

    After scrolling from so many shows, I loved it. Good jokes, sensible humors and not for stoners only. Netflix hardly produce good shows and even if they do, the shows are discontinued. Anxiously waiting for new episodes!

    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 part of.

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

    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.

    What is so bad about this show?
    Do critics hate it because it portrays marijuana in such a positive light?
    And would a show like this one survive on ABC, NBC, CBS? I don't think so.

    This is an ideal series to watch at night while enjoying a joint before sleep. It is an easy series to get into, some cut away scenes are truly funny. Even tho some of the jokes can seem forces at times, it can be a pleasurable watching experience. There are no Viola Davis-esq characters but the show does not need them.

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

    I can see a Golden Globe nomination happening for Kathy Bates at some point. They started well, now they need to fix the writing. The first season has 10 more episodes ordered, so they can still bounce back.

Perhaps we could classify this under the umbrella of "mindless entertainment," or "high entertainment" based on its subject matter. Regardless of how you would group this it was still a really entertaining to watch.

    Kathy Bates is a gem and steals almost every scene she is in. I'm not sure the ensemble would be able to stand on their own without her, but the rest of the core cast all brings something worthwhile to the table. The characters were mostly relatable and engaging, particularly the security guard suffering from PTSD. Some of them missed the mark, Dank and Dabby for instance (I am not counting them as the "core cast" as they seem to be reoccurring guest characters). Every time those two were on screen I felt the need to reach through my tv and punch them in the face. Seriously, I really hate those two characters. I understand why they exist to portray the stereotype of the "slacker stoners," and this *is* a Chuck Lorre show after all.

    I highly recommend everyone give this show a chance, and I honestly don't understand how it's ratings are so low. While this isn't going to change the face of the industry, it is a very good show. It may go too far into stereotypical portrayals at times it makes sense coming from who created it. As cannabis is growing in mainstream expectance it only makes sense for a show like this to exist.    … Expand

    Wife and I watched three episodes. Thought Bates overacted and most of the characters were uninteresting. May convince non-users that pot makes you more stupid than funny. There is too much good material on Amazon and Netflix for me to waste my time on this show. Maybe you have to be stoned to enjoy it.
