Weeds - Season 1 Reviews

One of the most provacative, witty, and entertaining shows on television today.  An original plotline, and the acting is superb.  The third season isn't as good as the first and second seasons, but is a fantastic watch nonetheless.  I highly recommend Weeds to anyone looking for something to stimulate the senses.

Little by little, Showtime has been struggling to catch up with the seemingly endless success-run HBO has had with their original programming. Mary-Louise Parker plays Nancy Botwin, a recently widowed mother of two struggling to keep her home and family afloat as she faces a newfound poverty. She stumbles upon a unique possibility, founding a new business as the premiere dealer of marijuana within the unsuspecting typical but fictional L.A. suburban community of Agrestic.

Season One explores the many pitfalls of a "pretty skinny white lady" starting up a business and making her way in the world...

My mother got a copy of this season from a friend of hers. She brought it home and watched it and LOVED it! So, since it came highly recommended, I watched it too. I LOVED IT! This show is hillarious and touching at the same time. I was hooked. Although the later seasons are just as funny, their not nearly as heartfelt as the first season. This is the one that started it all. If you watch the later seasons, you'll be so surprised at how everything turns out for these characters. Talk about plot twists!

The only negative thing I can think of is the image of drug use that is being presented. However,...

Weeds is halrious. We all say we would do anything for our kids, but would you really. If your spouse died and left you nothing but 2 kids and bills. What would you do? Well She may go farther than you would but you must watch, its great.  Parker is a great actress we all saw her in Fried Green Tomatoes. She was great then and even better know. The story line is funny, leaves you on edge and I can't get enough. Just when you think she has her life back on track the writers throw you a curve ball.

A MUST SEE

weeds is a show that is so realistic and very interesting. I highly recommend anyone whos struggles in life with money to watch this show. This show shows exactly how hard it is to sell weed and how dangerous it is. It also shows what people are willing to do for money. This is very heart warming in my opinion. Theres the people you always hate because they are so rude and the people that are innocent and just tryna get by.

Weeds is a dark, edgy comedy about a suburban mother who secretly deals pot to support her family after the death of her husband.  While there is much to laugh about in every episode, there is also a lot in the characters that the viewers can relate and connect to, making it also a compelling drama.  Season 1 is definitely worth the buy as each episode is worth of rewatching.
