Man with a Plan: Into the Weeds (2017)
This episode gets preachy
I love this series, but a couple of times through it, the creators decides to show of their liberal attitudes to marijuna/weeds. A political move, and as everyone knows, never a good idea to get preachy if you would like a narrative flow.
This episode has Mr. Burns display really old and outdated prejudice towards weeds (cabbage of the devil), then unknowingly getting a high and enjoying it, then take a liberal approach. Couldn't have made a clearer point if he stood on the pulpit, and the episode suffers from it.
If you're loving the fact that a lot of young people now use drugs because of legalizing, you will love this episode. Unless you see what the preaching does to the script.
If you think marijuana should stay off limits, this (and one more episode, where a nurse wrongfully «medicates» Joe with marijuana on purposes) is a annoying hair in an otherwise enjoyable soup.
