ChikPapa Very disappointed :(
Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece
SoftInloveRox Horrible, fascist and poorly acted
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
johan fritz (methmaga) Just so spot on. i love the love that this series spreads, love for everyone, no matter how strange a person you are. if you like movie like linklaters slacker and dazed and confused and the social comments of series like the wire,you willlove this.please give it a shot, and tell a friend. this show deserves a broad audience.
smatthew24 This show far exceeded my expectations. I came into it, not knowing about the web series. As an avid smoker, the premise was enough for me to give it a shot. By the end of the first episode I was hooked. The way they go episode to episode with new characters, and the depth of each story is just perfect. It's amazing, in a way. Each episode is different. Different characters, different background, colors, life choices .. yet .. I find myself connecting to each of them, and with this connection not only do I see them, but I also begin to see myself.
hjbuhrkall I've been a fan of most HBO-series, and my expectations were definitely up there, when I started on the series; high maintenance.Each episode of the series shown a number of very different persons, each in their own story line. The story lines have one thing in common though, that the persons involved at one point or another buy weed from the same dealer (a pretty likable dude who rides around New York City on his bicycle). The different time lines represent a broadness in the show, and the weed-dealer are the thing that should connect it all. This could potentially be at pretty great setup for the show, but… one of the big advantages series has over movies, is the ability to carry on a story line through hours and hours of screen time, build characters, and hence give the audience the experience of growing, with their favorite cast.None of that is done here!Each episode introduces a brand new story line, with all new characters and personas, and virtually none of the history from previous episodes are carried on, nor build upon. First episode features the story line of an "over the top" macho guy who's fighting with his girlfriend (some irrelevant argument), while chilling with his buddy, looking to get stoned. at the same time an extremely gay guy is doing drugs and having loose sex with strangers.Second episode features a young Muslim girl living with her aunt and uncle, trying the stay away from problems. We also follow Leo and Gigi, a couple preparing for Leo's birthday (a theme party / orgy), the orgy part though is called off, because had gotten an STD.Third episode features Gatsby, a dog, whom falls in love with his dog walker Beth. (this is where i decided to stop watching anymore)There is absolutely nothing tying the episodes together, and when the producers made the 3rd episode entirely about a dog, I have simply stopped watching any more.HBO, you can do better than this!
swilliky The new HBO comedic drama focuses on different characters throughout each episode connected by a character known only as the guy who bikes around New York City and sells pot to various people. Each character has their own issues and reasons for encountering the guy played by Ben Sinclair. The show started out as a web series and has graduated to thirty-minute episodes that can encapsulate up to two different story lines that interweave in strange connections not always noticed in everyday life. Stories range from a young Muslim student to couples hosting an orgy to an entire episode from the point of view of a dog. The shows use the slice of life to explore issues of the human condition that are both humorous and emotional. The writers don't hold back on the awkwardness of being a weed dealer that interacts with all sorts of strange individuals that are either shut-in and antisocial or a bit too comfortable and overly social. The guy takes all this in stride with a relentlessly positive attitude.
