Trailer Watch: Kathy Bates Is a Pot Goddess in “Disjointed”

“Disjointed”

Meet Ruth Whitefeather Feldman, a cannabis lawyer, activist, and user. A NSFW trailer has landed for “Disjointed,” a new Netflix comedy series that stars Kathy Bates as Ruth, a charismatic multi-hyphenate who makes fast friends when she announces, “Free joints for everybody!”

The lifelong advocate for legalization is “finally living her dream as the owner of an Los Angeles cannabis dispensary, Ruth’s Alternative Caring,” the show’s official synopsis details. Her “budtenders” include her twenty-something son and a security guard.

“Pretty soon somebody’s gonna become the Walmart of Cannabis. Why not us?” her son asks in the spot.

“Weeds,” another pot-centric comedy with a female lead, aired on Showtime from 2005–2012.

Bates is a two-time Emmy winner who picked up trophies for “American Horror Story” and “Two and a Half Men.” She received an Oscar in 1991 for “Misery.”

“Disjointed” begins streaming on Netflix August 25.
