Season One
With its absurd ball alternation Weeds, cable arrangement Showtime assuredly gave up its also-ran cachet to HBO and begin itself with a controversial, buzz-worthy appearance that was as amusing as it was dark, one about a absolutely atrocious housewife. A contempo added with two growing sons, Nancy Botwin (Golden Globe champ Mary-Louise Parker) looks like a archetypal citizen of the flush Southern California suburb of Agrestic. She keeps a clean, flush abode (with the advice of a chambermaid maid), attends PTA meetings, goes to her kids' soccer games, makes common stops at the bounded coffee franchise.... and sells marijuana in adjustment to accomplish it all possible. Left with no way to abutment herself afterwards her admired husband's baleful affection attack, Nancy turns herself into the "suburban adult of bud," ambidextrous to her neighbors in the area, with the advice of her supplier Heylia (Tonye Patano) and point man Conrad (Romany Malco). Nancy's audience run from the bounded administrator (Kevin Nealon) to the just-barely-legal acceptance at the bounded association college, but abounding in Agrestic are still in the aphotic as to how she keeps her ancestors afloat, including her best friend, the acrimonious Celia (Elizabeth Perkins), a wife and mother whose blistering, bane put-downs could accomplish Dorothy Parker blench in fear. But like abounding small-business owners, Nancy yearns for added success and cash, and like her crammer neighbors, finds befitting a antithesis amid plan activity and home activity to be acutely ambiguous at best.
While Atrocious Housewives yearned to be a burghal banter with bite, Weeds was the absolute deal, skewering upper-middle chic community with a aciculate eye, a agog wit, and a mostly affectionate heart. In adventure afterwards episode, the show's artistic aggregation (led by architect Jenji Kohan) pulled aback the layers of Agrestic's childishness to appearance what lies below the squeaky-clean exteriors and animated faces; it turns out that hunger, fear, desire, and, yes, agony aren't that far down. However, Weeds forsakes pulpiness and aureate ball for bitter yet affectionate humor--its charlatan is a woman with sliding morals, but one you'll basis for to the actual end. The airy Parker, the alone extra who can mix perkiness with anguish in just the appropriate amounts, anchored the appearance with her amazing about-face as Nancy, who by the end of the aboriginal division had become a affectionate of soccer-mom adaptation of Michael Corleone, entering a base apple with both agitation and fascination--and absolutely amorous of the ability it brought her. Aswell altogether cast, Perkins begin the role of a lifetime as the bitterly amusing Celia, and entering the appearance in its fourth episode, Justin Kirk (Parker's co-star in Angels in America) accepted to be a almighty abstruse weapon as Nancy's brother-in-law Andy, a slacker who wasn't aloft peddling t-shirts to elementary academy kids. As disgusting as these characters ability arise on the surface, Weeds fabricated them all badly ambrosial and abundant aggregation to be around. Don't say we didn't acquaint you: one hit and you'll be absorbed on this show. The DVDs affection six adventure commentaries with casting and crew, outtakes, aboriginal featurettes, a music video, and a lot of enjoyably, Agrestic Herbal Recipes (for ball amount only, we assume) and the "Smoke and Mirrors" marijuana mockumentary. --Mark Englehart

Season Two
The aboriginal division of Weeds concluded with a shocker: Nancy (Mary-Louise Parker) begin a abstracted new boyfriend, but he angry out to be a DEA abettor (Martin Donovan). Luckily, she manages to acquisition some appealing artistic means to "deal" with it. Despite that new obstacle, she decides its aswell time to "grow" the business to college levels, and all these chancy moves advance up to addition aces division afterpiece cliff-hanger. Elsewhere in burghal utopia, banana abating brother-in-law Andy (Justin Kirk) tries to contrivance his army commitments by abutting Rabbi school, while the amusing Doug (Kevin Nealon) battles it out with Celia (Elizabeth Perkins) to advance ability over the Agrestic City Council. Plot aside, Division 2 of Weeds took this potentially abundant appearance to the next level. No amount how harder they approved in the aboriginal season, the shows makers had a heck of a time aggravating to agitate the consequence that they were artful the agitation of HBOs aboriginal programming. (Some ability accept gone as far as to say they were aggravating a little too hard.) This time around, the characters and the adventure accept developed into their own skins, and they action something abundant added accurate and convincing. The additional division aswell starts a abundant new tradition: Malvina Reynolds s "Little Boxes" is still the aperture affair song, but it is performed by a altered artisan for anniversary adventure (from Elvis Costello to The Shins). Just one added affair to accumulate us "addicted." --Jordan Thompson
