Kathy Bates as Ruth

Ruth is an old-school activist who fought for legalization and is now a proud weed store owner. She’s quick-witted, wise and always a little stoned.

  • Oscar winner
  • Combines humor with political aspirations

Lead actress Kathy Bates high at work?

The Oscar winner always reads the Disjointed scripts on a high! In an exclusive interview, she reveals that she understands the texts best when she’s “in the right mood”.

Aaron Moten as Travis

Ruth’s son Travis brings business ideas and order to the store – which of course often fails. He is caught between motherly love and market economy.

  • Marketing instead of marijuana
  • Rational voice in the chaos

Chris Redd as thanks

Dank is constantly high and philosophizes about the world. His dialogs are profound and stupid at the same time – a stoner soul with a heart.

  • “Saturday Night Live” comedian
  • Favorite character of many fans

Why was Disjointed canceled?

Despite the cult factor, it was over after 20 episodes. Netflix canceled the series due to mixed reviews – fans thought this was a shame, as the format was unique. Perhaps the mix of sitcom and psychedelic animation was too special for the mainstream audience.

No comeback planned: End after only 2 seasons

To date, there are no plans for a sequel. If you like Disjointed, you can look forward to similar shows such as “High Maintenance” or “Weeds“.

  • Completed in 2 seasons
  • More than just stoner humor

More series with weed vibes

Fancy more series in which weed plays a role? Here are two suggestions:

Cooked with Cannabis: Cooking with THC

At Cooked with Cannabis, chefs battle it out with hemp dishes – high cuisine is served, judged by celebrities. Ideal for foodies with a stoner’s heart. While Disjointed is a classic sitcom with stoner chaos, talking plants and social criticism, Cooked with Cannabis delivers fine cuisine with THC – entertainment meets fine food instead of everyday pharmacy life.

High maintenance: weed delivery with depth

A New York dealer in High Maintenance meets a wide variety of customers – each episode tells a new mini-story involving weed and madness. High Maintenance tells realistic, often touching everyday stories with subtle humor – Disjointed, on the other hand, focuses on loud sitcom vibes, political punchlines and absurd stoner scenarios in a cannabis dispensary.

  • HBO series with style
  • Philosophical, urban, different
  • To the series: High Maintenance
