Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Who'll love it: Made for anyone who wants a laugh.
The mood: Darkly funny.
The pace: 7 seasons, but most episodes stand on their own, so you can dip in anywhere (about 30 minutes each).
What might put you off: Nothing much for most grown-ups.

Sitcom about a small-time dope dealer and his strange collection of acquaintances.
