Maybe there's a reason why one of the slangs for weed is Chino (Chinese). The stoner face turns a bit Chinese like in character. The Chinese themselves were very much influenced by Taoism and Zen - which advocates attention to the "Suchness" of things as they are. And being stoned gives you this ability to look at the suchness of things. To look at every person you walk by as a story, as a suchness of its own. God - How did you miss all of this suchness before? Watching the show does the same. There's no main character. There is only the suchness of many different characters, all shine in their own uniqueness. The episodes, the music, the stories - are all about that. And you better wait for the ending credits of each episode, which are even more of an hallucination than everything else. I haven't watched this show stoned, though I seriously feel it already emulates the feeling pretty good for the viewer without the actual need for him to smoke. Though this is definitely a show that makes you wanna smoke - and I'm definitely going to have a 2nd round watching it once I pile up from my "Guy".

... View MoreA series of short stories on the lives of everyday people living in New York. All the stories have one character in common - a pot dealer known simply as "the guy".Wonderfully quirky and engaging series of vignettes. A great mix of drama and comedy. The short stories, of which there are one or two each episode, suck you in with likable characters in interesting situations. From there it is a leisurely ride to a great punch- line. Writer-director-creators (and husband and wife) Katja Blichfield and Ben Sinclair do a great job at keeping the stories simple, yet profound, and the characters relatable. Sinclair also stars as The Guy, and does so very well, coming across as an entrepreneurial version of The Dude in The Big Lebowski.My favourite episode: S1 E3, where the dog falls in love with his walker. You actually feel you are seeing the world from the dog's eyes, and it's a wonderful experience. (Incidentally, the walker is played by Yael Stone, of Orange Is The New Black fame).
