That’s my take on it, too, but it’s a pretty addictive show. Like “Making a Muderer”; it’s hard to stop watching, although you feel dirty about it.
Fifteen years or so ago I was on a road trip up the coast on 101, and stopped at a cafe for dinner in that area. Got a real bad vibe from some of the other patrons in the place. Left quickly and glad I did now.
But there are places kinda like that in the Santa Cruz Mountains, where I was living at that time. Go down the wrong road, and it won’t be long until someone comes down it and asks where you think you are going.
Punisher has the action of last season but the story line isnt that engrossing.
If you live east of California, those people likely supplied your weed, or still do if your state hasn’t legalized
I lived/worked in rural Humboldt for five years in late 70s. My now wife was a trimmer for several growers and I helped start a futures market - $400 lbs of sensi, paid in April, for Croptober delivery - to provide working capital financing for growers.
The growers I knew fell into three basic groups - burned out back-to-the-land hippies from LA & SFO, tripwire Vietnam vets, and out of work loggers. Good people forced into being assholes by the War On Drugs. No Rule of Law
LIke regular people enjoy. It’s what happens when you could come away with $400k after harvest, or get busted, or get ripped off.
Crazy shit would happen. A college student was out hiking, stumbled onto a grow, and was held prisoner for a month until harvest because the growers were afraid he would blab and rippers would show up. There were always people getting shot and/or killed in rips gone bad. Wife had a grower show up at her house one day, after 45 min he vehemently insisted he had been there 3 hours. Next day news story is a guy who grower had a beef with was found beat to death during the time he claimed to be at wife’s place.
And like young Mr Rodriguez, police can’t put together a case on supposition and hearsay, so risk/reward calculus is very much tilted toward STFU.
The early growers had kids who joined the family business. Home-schooled and livin up in the hollows your whole life doesn’t give you a rounded worldview
Saddest part is these people will get crushed by legalization - small outdoor or greenhouse grows located a bazillion miles from customers isn’t a viable model in the era of $800 lbs, income taxes and stiff regulation. The few growers I still know there will continue to be outlaws selling into the flyover states. It’s all they know.
Yup that is the point. Overall legalization is a good thing. Just sad that the OGs who pioneered sensi growing were forced to be feral, and now that it’s legal their methods don’t work.
And good luck growing small batch greenhouse tomatoes when the market is triple the distance as the “plantations” in the Central Valley.
Not shedding a tear for the sensi masters. Meth still pays plenty good.
The town of Weott has been taken over by east euro meth cookers
Just caught Fyre. Holy shit, what a train wreck. Hard to feel too bad for all the douchebags who were pulled in though. BTW a TGR hat at 1:07 - anyone want to fess up?
Hello!
Have you any alternative for Netflix, I mean other apps where I can watch last tv shows in good quality?
Derry Girls is feckin' hilarious. A bunch of Irish teenagers getting into trouble during "The Troubles". Less political than I expected.
Occupation. Sucked. But somehow perfect for mind numbing.

Friends from College is pretty fucking funny. Fred Savage is hilarious, who knew.
All of the Indiana Jones movies are on Netflix right now. Watched Raiders last night. It's still awesome.
I was trying to decide while watching it if I think it's awesome mostly because of nostalgia. Tough to be unbiased about something like that, but I'm pretty sure it's just a really good movie.
Yeah, it's a really good movie.
Me'n Vets saw Raiders last summer on the BIG screen at the local cinema (Flashback Wed/Sun). It still holds up regardless of nostalgia. It's a well-crafted film with great acting, incredible action, and solid FX. Puts a lot of modern films of a similar ilk to shame, imho.
Just don't watch that crystal skull garbage. That's an all time turd.
I am going through the OG Twilight Zones. Was there only 4 seasons? Has been cool seeing ones I completely forgot.
