Netflix grabs a hit of Chuck Lorre and Kathy Bates’ new weed sitcom
Suggesting that there really is a workplace-based sitcom out there for any given workplace you can name, Netflix has announced that it’s ordering Chuck Lorre’s marijuana comedy Disjointed to series. Originally described as “the Big Bang Theory of weed,” the show will star Oscar and Emmy-winning actress Kathy Bates as the owner and operator of a L.A. cannabis dispensary, forced to deal with her son, her three budtenders, and a “deeply troubled” security guard. Also, to quote the official Netflix press release, “All of them are more or less constantly high.”
