Great Concept and that's about it
Tactrix6 September 2016
I love that cannabis is getting mainstream but just once I'd like to see a show about people who are intelligent, because the whole all pot smokers are dumb stoners angle is played out. And frankly this portrayal is just awful.

So this show is about 2 women who are a pot delivery service, and so far they just keep spouting off useless things that have no baring in reality or relevance, to anything anyone would ever say in real life, sober or stoned. I think they were going for funny, quirky and happy but they come off as dumb, bland, and seriously in need of better monologue.

5/10 because despite the bad writing their acting is actually not half bad. If they bring in a half way decent writer and try something new like.. making the girls sound like they have a brain cell left, then and only then will this show make it beyond a few episodes.

good lead duo but not much else
SnoopyStyle10 February 2017
Jordan (Scout Durwood) and Paige (Jessica Rothe) are best friends and L.A. roommates who are trying to get their legal marijuana delivery business onto The Green 15.

The girls are hot and charismatic to boot. They are a fun buddy comedic mix together. Paige is a bubbly valley blonde and Jordan is the tough chick. The girls talk fast and talk about anything. The writing is not that great. It's trying to be an irreverent take on L.A. life but it is always too broad. The side characters are lacking. It needs at least two more main characters to start and it shouldn't any of the actors already on the show. Harry Elfont and Deborah Kaplan as a writing team is a hit and miss proposition for the most part and that's this show.

Clever running gag with the restaurants
dontspamme-7607819 December 2018
I know this review is very late, but I was at a party last week and I was reminded of this show. I couldn't remember the name until a few days later.

I liked this show. It wasn't always spot on, but it did better than the vast majority of shows on either network or cable channels.

I particularly liked the running restaurant gag. It was really a setup to give the characters a place to have a longish dialog. Most every episode, they would go to the newest trendy restaurant. The line was always down the street. But the restaurant concepts were very funny. One served nothing but dry toast (for $7). No spreads were allowed. Another restaurant made you bring your own plate to eat from. Another (named Shh) wouldn't allow the diners to talk.

It was a great parody on the millennial/hipster fashion trends.

has humor, interesting characters, interesting situations
drunkespeare5 October 2016
Just watched four episodes in a row. I guess you can make yourself not like Mary and Jane, or it just might not be the type of humor you appreciate. Both of the main actors have comedic talent, and the writing is good. It's fast paced and some of the humor is subtle. I like Broad City, Inside Amy Schumer, Key and Peele. Actually. Mary and Jane is a better two girl buddy show than Broad City, but not as bitingly funny as Inside Amy Schumer. Hope you give it a chance and don't be put off by people who like to feel "superior" by dissing shows they don't really understand, or those who have not watched enough to know why Mary and Jane is a half hour program instead of a five minutes one.

Super Cute!!! Everyone will love it!
happiehippieheather-6951327 January 2023
Mary + Jane is a super super cute show! It is about two young adult females Jordan and Paige who are in their twenties and are entrepreneurs trying to make a go of their new business where they deliver buds to people in Los Angeles. It is a super funny. And, comedic and stuff! Also, It is kind of a chick flick, but I am postive that dudes would love it too. A dude did turn me on to the show so... Also, I guess that Snoop Dogg helped with the making/production of the show which says to me that It has GOT to be funny and has to be a decent, well worth watching and must see type of show to watch.
