SERIES PREMIERE: This is not a recommendation. Chuck Lorre and David Javerbaum are behind this new Netflix sitcom, which stubbornly – and in this case, not at all effectively – continues the multi-camera, live-audience approach to situation comedy. Kathy Bates plays the owner of a legal California marijuana dispensary, but though the setting is new for a sitcom, the characters, and jokes, are anything but. Even with some animation thrown in, this new sitcom deserves to be thrown out. You may be tempted, as was I, to take this comedy voyage because of the teaming of Bates and Lorre – but trust me. It’s a bad trip. For a full review, see Ed Bark's Uncle Barky's Bytes.
