Could not make it through an entire episode. Completely awful. Cringeworthy jokes and an obnoxious laugh track.

The trailer makes it look really bad.
Most of the punchlines weren't actually jokes, but someone keeps pushing the laugh track button.
Based on that and the mostly bad reviews, it's a hard pass.

I'm 3 episodes in and actually like it. No, I don't smoke. You get used to the laugh track -- reminds me of that Adam Green/Joe Lynch show Holliston.
The dispensary security guard with PTSD is hilarious and the girls that work there are hot.

Of course it's my luck that the white girl working the dispensary looks like an ex...with the same name!
I'm on episode 6.

Weird. I thought I had posted some time ago that I had finished it. It gets a little heavy with Carter and his PTSD. Overall I kinda liked it. The characters grow on you. I didn't mind the laughtrack on The Ranch either. I can see how some wouldn't like it. The finale has a nice cameo.
If it gets renewed, it'll be interesting to see what happens. Shit goes down.

I thought it had a full season split into to two? It says "Pt. 1" throughout. 
Yeah, it does get heavy in spots and that finale was tough considering the previous 9 episodes were fun and fluffy.

Yup. I'll probably watch it in the next couple of days. Had other stuff to get to otherwise I would have binged it already.

I couldn't finish the first episode. A laugh track? So cringe worth begin with and the show just wasn't funny at all.
