So...I wanna give Weeds one more chance but I need to know what happened in s4 and 5. I know that Nancy was working in a store that had a tunel from Mexico to USA. And I know something about Nancy being pregnant with the mexican druglord's child, but I don't know if it was real or just… More something to stop him to killing her. Now that I think about it I think I saw season 4...I'm not sure. Season 5 I only watched the premiere. Anyway, thanks.
Hot mother who sell weeds, nice for your neighbour but your mother…
as soon as they burned down their homes in the 3rd season, celia has no reson to be in the story anymore, its like shes just there being annoying, threatening, or bumbing houses or money off of "friends" they had a great oppurtunity to kill her off in the horribly written 5th season but the writers… More chose not to. if you hate celia like most other weeds fans do then vote yay or nay to kill her off in the 6th season(1st episode would be good please) and make it a bloody one
They sure know how to make a guy keep coming back for more! hide show
Weeds is a great show, always introducing new conflicts each and every episode and ramping up the tension. This is what good TV shows must do, and Weeds does it quite excellently. Nancy Botwin, a recently-widowed mother of two, is the protagonist who begins dealing marijuana to make ends meet. The plot thickens with each successive episode and , if you're like me, your curiosity will be piqued from episode number one. In short, give it a try from the first episode, as you won't be able to get involved with the characters and really connect with them unless you know the story from the bottom up. Netflix has the first five seasons on demand, and Showtime currently airs the show on Monday nights.
This show is addicting and very funny. hide show
I like this show a lot, it reminds me somewhat of Arrested Development and The Riches. It is quite funny and the plots are so contrived and crazy that it keeps me entertained. I love the characters, Nancy is awesome and so are her band of crazy friends, customers, and associates. The kids are also quite interesting. This show is not at all realistic, and many of the plots are very weird and over-the-top... but that doesn't matter you just want to roll with it and enjoy it for what it is - mindless entertainment. If you're looking for escapism this show works.
there are never any funny TV shows. this is "the" 1 show that made me fall off the treadmill laughing. hide show
oh & there were some episodes of family guy... then there was that scene from it's always....
OK, there are many funny TV shows: the work of the 2 seths...except for the cleveland show, WTF... the 1st season of drawn together, it's always sunny in philly, how i met your mother (did i lose you there? i meant in a cute sort of way), TMZ, & um......madTV, southpark (which i didn't religiously watch)... oh & the simpsons....at least before family guy...heh
my fave brand of humor is humor that's dark & biting like a good bar of 70% cacao chocolate. immature, immoral, harsh, shocking to many, not 'cute' like FRIENDS-cute, & probably illegal in some states. the characters involved are always pathetic or dysfunctional or both--making them either very relateable or making you feel better about yourself. based on the show, i refer to this brand of humor as "always sunny".....a contradiction in & of itself..whatever that means, & seems unfair in this case because i'm writing about an entirely different show. maybe i should call it always.........funny... or not...
either way, it's impossible to not watch this show for jenji kohan's humor, regardless of how annoying the main character can get. for what it's worth, it seems the main character is doomed to never be the fave--eternally hated in his/her quest to do what's good/right/best. side characters are the ones that spice things up: marc & mindy, andy botwin, jack & karen...
it's also always nice to see actors that were famous in the 80s/90s employed again. 1 less episode of "where are they now?" yay
in a world of 3D characters, i'm pretty torn about celia's character being 2D & pure evil, with no redeeming qualities. not to say that i hate her, but i can't help but wonder if this was intentional.
i love this show when it doesn't try too hard. season 2 wasn't too fun/ny, but i WILL say that after watching the last episode, it's definitely back up on its feet. i officially love shane.
A financially strapped single mom starts selling weed to support her family after the sudden death of her husband. hide show
I was kind of into Weeds and its quirky, unexpectedly dark humor, in the beginning - I thought it would be more like a druggie version of Desperate Housewives or a druggier version of Six Feet Under - but I wasn't too crazy about its the overreliance on toilet humor. It's a bit out of place most of the time and works against the show's smarter moments. I didn't truly fall for the series until the roller coaster of laughs and thrills that was the 2nd Season. Andy's (Justin Kirk) masturbation speech to Nancy's youngest son, Shane (Alexander Gould) might be one of the funniest monologues in a sitcom, ever. It was so good that it spawned a spin-off through the University of Andy web series. However, since then, Weeds has become stuck in a pattern of raising the steaks only to blithely blow off some of the seriousness of the many screwed up complications that arise as perpetual hard-luck case, Nancy Botwin (Mary-Louise Parker), digs herself deeper into the criminal underworld. This, in effect, renders many of the show's turning points meaningless, particularly the precarious situations that Nancy and her family frequently find themselves in. Still, Weeds is nothing if not daring. Some of the bolder changes that followed the end of Season 3 were welcome and could have worked beautifully to streamline the story, but the show stagnated by keeping stale plotlines that served little to move the main story forward - i.e. the never-ending shenanigans of Celia Hodes (Elizabeth Perkins) and Doug Wilson (Kevin Nealon). Yes, these characters do have their moments, but they mostly come off as needless filler.
What made the first two season so good was its solid grounding in reality as seen through the seedy underbelly of the drug trade and how, whether it's acknowledged or not, that trade can effect the seemingly cloistered world of suburbia. Back then, the mix of shocking drama and dark humor worked well to keep viewers engaged and on their toes. You had no idea what to expect, but in the subsequent seasons, the show almost felt like it was parodying itself with more and more outlandish story lines without the same sense of impending doom, during Nancy's struggles, or breathtaking highs during her successes. After a while found myself caring less and less what happened to the characters because it became clear that they would find no footing out of the hole they and the writers have dug themselves into. Will I keep watching? Probably, because despite all its problems, Weeds remains a fairly entertaining ride, but I'm not as vested in what happens as I used to be because everything that left me craving to see what comes next has gradually gone by the wayside throughout its (as of this writing) 5-year run.
A breath of fresh air! hide show
I started watching Weeds waaaay too late. I knew it was good, and I've had it for years, but when I started watching, I couldn't get my eyes of it.
I have very little of bad things to say about the show, and a lot of truly great ones. Let's start with the plot, which is refreshing and hilarious at the same time. The very idea of the show itself is interesting: a single, white and still young widow has to put the food on the table and support her family, so she gets into the pot business. Intriguing. And that's not all.
Mary-Louise Parker is excellent. She's real, she's dead on, she's believable, she's tough and fragile at the same time. She deals with the same dramas all mothers go through every day, plus, she's a pot dealer. Elizabeth Parkins is also amazing; I have to say I was never a big fan of hers, but she delivers, and boy, she delivers big. The dialogues are top-notch. It's not very hard to make a viewer laugh, but to make them laugh until they cry, yeah, that's a challenge. And Weeds will make you cry. The plot somehow always makes sense, and with the amount of charm attached to the show, you can forgive the occasional plot-holes. What's also important, is that the show is being actually quite open-minded and liberal about politics, religion and world in general - even if you lay the marijuana plot aside. It's very refreshing.
Right of the bat, Weeds has become one of my favorites....just don't watch it with your Catholic grandma.
