High Hopes

I worked in the marijuana biz for 7yrs amd loved every min of it. This show brought back so many great memories of times there. I worked in the back of the house (the grow) and wish shows would focus on that more then retail but still great show. The name of the brand was bad though. Little Matron just rubs me the wrong way for some reason. The place is called mmd so call it mmdank or something. Theyre what I would consider a fake brand also. Just selling someone elses bud in a new package. It might be ur band but its not ur weed. My place grew and sold our own bud and thats how it should be. Fun show though it u wanna know bout the retail aspect of the job.

What a fun and mindless series for a sick day. I love the cast, especially Freddie!! Fun to watch people working behind the scene. It may not be as interesting if filmed in MI or IL, but Hollywood does work well for the different characters who make an appearance.

Freddie and Urial's adventures are worth a watch on their own, Dani makes things interesting as well. All in all, I like what they did here. A new type of reality show! Not sure if you have to be a stoner or not to appreciate it, but knowing one of the main dudes in the show really helps. Freddie really is that person. It was fun to see his family I'm LA with their very cute shirts, as well!

It started with potential and could have been interesting if they kept it about the dispensary, but they couldn't even get through one episode without turning focus onto the wannabe Kardashian bimbo employees and their personal passive aggressive melodrama. That and the awkwardly forced scripted moments just make this another brain damagingly stupid trash "reality" show.

I also don't like how all of the humor is just perpetuated stoner stereotypes. How many "marijuana users are so stupid" jokes can you cram into a 30 minute episode? It gets old fast and it just goes on and on like that's all they've got. Actually, that is all they've got. Like 90% of the show is just them finding stupid people to say stupid things and you're supposed to think it's because of the marijuana and not that these people are just idiots.

I clicked thinking I would give in 5 minutes while working today - I had low expectations as I don't care for the Pawn Stars type "reality" show, I thought. Four episodes later... where did the time go? I noticed I was smiling a lot and chuckled multiple times. Again, I really didn't expect to like this at all, but the dispensary setting is novel and most of the cast is incredibly likeable.

Freddy and Uri are bros I would love to hang with. Dani and Jared seem pretty real, though they're quite different personalities than the former two. The assistant manager, Morgan?, is a familiar character in any workplace: ambitious and task oriented. The owners are even relatable and you want to see it from their side too. The only one that left almost no mark is the manager, Ronnie; he seems somewhat forgettable, but maybe he's just low key. He has a petty beef with Dani and seems quite childish about it.

I don't often write reviews, and this is my first for a show, but I wanted to share my genuine surprise at how watcha le this show is. Who knows how much is scripted? Probably quite a bit, but the interactions really drew me in. Maybe give it a shot and see if you get drawn in to this little gem like I did.

I know everyone is saying this stuff is scripted, but most of it is pretty authentic. I feel like most of the characters are unique in their own ways yet also generally common to find in today's society, although nobody films this thrown together in a workplace. At least not a real one. Check the interviews online, these people are hilarious and I hope they make a second season. Uri and freddie are also the best duo. Singing is other worldly. Dani is a little nuts but still has her moments. Still confused as to why she got the masseuse. The show really shows how much of a family it is, but also the business challenges for a cannabis industry. 10/10.
