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.
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.
I love this show im not really into stoners shows but i was hooked i would so love it if there was more series to come but if not i could still binge watch this show over and over again
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.
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.
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.
I'm leaving this review to start a movement for the show. 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.
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.
This is the worst comedy I have seen in over 20 years. I don't know who would give it a score of 10. Even the people giving it a 10 say, "The writing needs to be fixed. Let's hope it bounces back in the second season." Shows that score a perfect 10 don't need to bounce back! What is wrong with people?
The weed is not the problem. The problem is the writing and the laughing and the laugh track. Nobody would laugh at this junk.
I have never watched a tv show more boring than Disjointed. I felt like the comedy was too forced and just copy and pasted out of a stoner stereotype book. I get that the show is trying to be pro weed but don't expect the tv show to help your cause when your show is portraying 'stoners' in the worst possible way. If you're into boring tv shows that make people who smoke weed look stupid and a well-known lead then Disjoined is for you. Don't get too attached to the show though I can almost put money on it that the show will not see another season.
