This Netflix series definitely had potential. It's sad for viewers it won't get a second season.
If you never enjoyed marijuana, some of the jokes and mannerisms may not make sense.
If you live in a state where it's legal, this is a show for you.
Kathy Bates portrays the central character, Ruth White Feather Feldman. She's a lovable marijuana enthusiast and along with her son, she owns a dispensary that serves as the primary location for the stories told.
The supporting cast of characters include Michael Trucco (Battlestar Galáctica) as Taekwan Doug, a martial arts instructor in the same strip mall as Ruth's dispensery. I rather enjoyed his comedic timing. Despite fulfilling the role of ongoing antagonist for Ruth, Doug establishes a friendship with Pete, Ruth's master grower.
Doug also serves as a primary example of an uptight individual who could really benefit from sparking up some kind bud. I'm sure it would have eventually happened had more seasons been ordered.
Break out characters are Dank and Dabby, portrayed by Chris Redd and Betsy Sodaro. While introduced as stereotypical stoners, their chemistry and comedic timing made them stand out, and the true way to savor their scenes is with a spark of your own.
Dank and Dabby make such an impression, they have a real presence on YouTube.
While enjoyable, the series did have room for improvement. Some episodes seem uneven, and some appear to have been a struggle for writers to write.
Early in the series, Ruth's son, Travis, has a near romantic interlude with one of the bud tenders. The arc was dropped after the first few episodes.
In general, the show is just fun. It never took itself too seriously, which makes it good for laughs.
