The first ten episodes of the new Netflix series Disjointed are streaming now, and if you're looking for a sitcom that makes a lot of weed jokes, then this show might be for you.
The show has its moments and not so moments. Kathy Bates, playing Ruth Feldman, gives a hilarious performance that'll stick out at times and also gives some good dramatic moments as well. The supporting cast works well with one another and along with Bates.
Aaron Moten, playing Travis, Ruth's son, is good at times and stands out in one episode, mostly in episode eight. When his girlfriend leaves, he imagines rapping in a music video. Elizabeth Alderfer, playing Olivia, is amassing slowly but enjoyable once you go into more episodes, especially in episodes two through ten.
Tone Bell as Carter, a security guard who suffers from PTSDDH from hours in Iraq, gives such a notable and humorous performance. Both Elizabeth Ho and Dougie Baldw, in playing Jenny and Pet,e are just as witty and enjoyable as the others can be.
The writing pushes the weed jokes a lot, and I don't think it's too much. Along with the show, it gives hilarious weed commercials from Kush in the still of Coolers beer and even Farmer's Pot. But the Strand-O of the Day is the show's best sample in each episode and possibly the most. And when you get down to the tenth episode, Bates does give a good performance of both comedy and drama.
Is it one of the best sitcoms of the decade? No, but the series has something something. Bates and the cast play well in this workplace sitcom about the weed. Randal, I rate the first ten episodes an 8/10.
You can catch the first ten episodes of Disjointed streaming now on Netflix.
