Disjointed (Netflix) – This comedy from Chuck Lorre stars Kathy Bates (yes, the Kathy Bates) as the owner of a legal pot dispensary called Ruth’s Alternative Caring in Southern California. She’s the Ruth, the weed is the Alternative Caring, and the show follows her group of employees who live high, occasionally rational lives.
The Tick (Amazon) – Most of the superhero fare lately has been pretty dark so if The Defenders and Suicide Squad and Batman vs. Superman have put a damper on your comic book craze, maybe a vigilante in a brighter suit will help.

Meanwhile, Jackson’s still getting tortured and his psycho sister reveals a secret about the hybrids and her plans that changes everything.
