Fresh and Exciting

best movie i've ever seen.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Each and every episode (except for the last season) has a gripping plot. Starting from the very first episode, I was hooked on to the show. It did not take me long to complete the entire series. It definitely is one of the most mind-blowing shows I have seen so far, especially with its fabulous story line. The actors have done a brilliant job and done the characters complete justice. The well plotted twists will leave you mind boggled. I loved the first 7 seasons. The last season is a little slow and somehow fails to match up to the previous seasons' pace. Nevertheless, it was fantastic experience!

Well, I've just watched the first episode: I hated it. No problem with the pot selling Mary Louise Parkers character is selling, I assume it's to supplement her income. Its the language and situations that bother me. I can't imagine a parent, in real life, would want their kid in a TV series or a movie where they are part of the discussion of sex and the language discussing the sex. Oh, the money, even worse. Parkers character catches her son and girlfriend in bed and uses the F word to describe what they're up to! And Elizabeth Perkins uses the C word referring to her daughter. I am not a prude, I watch Boardwalk Empire and Game of Thrones, gratuitous sex and nudity galore but there are no child actors dragged into the action. I will not be watching another episode. And people wonder what's wrong with our society, our youth, just watch TV.

Whether the whole story derived from an actual real life case or not.. the entire set made me believe it was based on someone's life.However despite my personal thought, this series is a brilliant example of TV shows alongside The Sopranos, Breaking Bad, and Boardwalk Empire.The "change" in the main character's lifestyle is absolutely fantastic.. every episode makes you want to chase the next one.The acting was not bad at all. Every scenario involved throughout the seasons gave a similar perspective as to what the real-life drug world tastes like.Overall, a single hour of this show will give you the cravings for a ol' fashioned spliffer. =)

I tried. I really really tried to give this show a shot. I heard good things about it and was ready to take the journey but I just can't go on any further. I was expecting something like Californication or Orange is the New Black but it's not even close. The storyline is sub par and the acting is worse. What they tried to do was make a heartfelt yet comedic story about a widowed mother of 2 who struggles day to day and has to rely on selling drugs to make ends meet. It failed miserably in my opinion. Mary-Louise Parker is so not believable in this role. I feel as the story continues it shows how poorly written her character is. She goes from a weak-willed pot dealer who can't control her children and has no friends except for the people she buys her drugs from and her accountant to an even less willed pot dealer who can't control her kids. No plot points. No story arch. Just a half hour of nonsense every episode with not one snicker or chuckle. I struggled through 3 seasons and had to stop. I honestly can't believe I made it that far. I'm really not sure what genre they were writing for here. It's not dramatic, it's not a comedy, it's definitely not suspenseful, it's not slapstick... The only thing remotely funny about this show is the character development.... And what I mean by that is there is NONE! There are MUCH better shows out there to spend time on. I for one do not care how this story ends. I am just very surprised so many people love it. The only reason it gets a 2 is because of Kevin Nealon. Without him I would've given it a 1.
