As I write, the current IMDB rating for this series is 9.2, which places it among legendary series like The Wire, The Sopranos, or Game of Thrones. Please. This series incorporates themes from Children of Men (2006) and various post-apocalyptic road films, but does not rise to the level of the best of any of them. I am 5 episodes into the series and there are already some minor problems with the series, although it is highly watchable overall. The acting is decent, and some of the characters more likeable than others. Full disclosure, I haven't played the video game and was not even familiar with it before watching this series. It's a good series, but it's not worthy of an 8+ IMDB rating.

This is a perfect example of a failed cannabis business

So if it doesn't make it to season 2, it will prove to be very accurate...ha!
Red flags the "dispensary" is headed for failure:
When is the "Inspector arrives and leaves a big fine" episode?
This basic premise might work if it was more of a comedy/drama...instead it's almost Cheers in a pot shop...meh
Red flags the "dispensary" is headed for failure:
- owner is high all the time
- workers are high all the time
- owner/workers/customers consuming Cannabis on the premises (helping themselves?)
- closet-scale grow operation run by a kid with zero commercial growing experience
- owner doesn't seem to have a lawyer and is never dealing with regulatory hurdles
