I am currently up to season 4 of the series and I have been hooked from the first episode. The script is well written and always exciting, leaving you on edge at the end of every episode, a skill alot of other shows have yet to master. Weeds stars Mary-Louise Parker as Nancy Botwin, a widowed housewife who has resorted to selling marijuana in the gated community of Agrestic, in order to provide for her two boys, Shane (Alexander Gould) and Silas (Hunter Parrish). Through-out the series she comes up against different scenarios that you would expect most drug dealers go through, threats, robbing, blackmail but she somehow manages ...  Read the complete review

Weeds is the best Television series to come out of the US in a long-time, I watched the 4 series back to back last summer and found them highly entertaining with fun and interesting story lines, an entertaining comedy with splashings of drama, suspense and sex appeal.

Well I must say that I really am very surprised to find myself writing the first review of this excellent television program. Ever since I saw Mary-Louise Parker in The West Wing I have just felt that there is something so sexy about her, so with her being the lead in this...well I'm in heaven haha! Ok let's try and get away from the primal red blooded reason for watching this and offer a more subjective opinion;O) Like all the best shows the most striking thing here is the humour present in not always the most obviously funny situations.
