America's favorite pot-dealing soccer mom is more addictive than ever in the third season of WEEDS, the highly acclaimed Showtime(r) Original Series. Emmy (r) and Golden Globe(r) winner MARY-LOUISE PARKER stars as Nancy Botwin, a single mom who resorts to dealing pot after her husband dies suddenly. But when an off beat way to make ends meet grows into a mini-empire, the mother of all dealers finds she may be in over her head - and on the verge of taking everyone else with her. Hilarious and subversive, WEEDS is the hit that put the herb in suburb. |

Weeds: Season Three continues the dark line of comedy that emerged in the previous season for this Showtime series. The story picks up exactly where it left off, with Nancy Botwin (Mary-Louise Parker) faced with a half-dozen guns pointing at her in her own kitchen, while an Armenian gang and Nancy's buyer, U-Turn (Page Kennedy), both demand she turn over her entire stash of marijuana (worth several hundred thousand dollars). Problem is, the pot is in the trunk of on-again, off-again friend Celia (Elizabeth Perkins), whose car has been stolen by Nancy's oldest son, Silas (Hunter Parrish). Silas wants in on mom's business, but his timing couldn't be worse as Celia and a police officer show up to reclaim the car while Nancy is still at gunpoint. The fallout from all this is that Nancy ends up working for U-Turn to repay her debt to him, a dangerous relationship that sends Nancy down a rabbit hole of underworld threats and violence. Meanwhile, Celia gets booted out of her home by her husband and becomes estranged from her young daughter, Isabelle (Allie Grant), who insists she's a lesbian. Celia rebounds a bit when a corrupt developer (Matthew Modine) gives her a house in exchange for her support on city council for one of his schemes. That goes wrong, too, when Celia allows Nancy, Doug (Kevin Nealon), and Conrad (Romany Malco), all of whom go into business after U-Turn stops being a problem, to put their endangered trove of marijuana plants in her house. Nancy's other son, Shane (Alexander Gould), claims he can see and talk to the ghost of Nancy's late husband, and Nancy's brother-in-law Andy (Justin Kirk) goes AWOL from the U.S. Army after his comrade is deliberately killed in an experimental missile test. As always, it's one thing after another on Weeds, and the blend of humor and suspense is uniquely compelling. Parker and the rest of the cast pull off some pretty surreal situations with great credibility. The show's lead star, particularly, can carry moments of blended terror and comedy: one of the season's most memorable moments finds Nancy forced to put on a sexy dance for a group of drug dealers in order to pick up a package U-Turn requires. The scene is humiliating, frightening, sexy, and comical all at once. Few actresses could have pulled it off, but Parker does. --Tom Keogh |

Superb Season In The Worst DVD Box Ever |
THE CONTENT: I'll put it this way. This is the longest season of Weeds so far, and I watched it ten times faster than any season before it. In two days, I'd muscled through all fifteen episodes, which make have contributed in small part to how COMPLETE the thing just felt. Like no season of the show before it, it tests all the characters and takes the story to the next level. While all of the other seasons were almost sinfully entertaining, this one is so excellent in all levels, from character development to the intricate plot that picks up on the cliffhanger that ended Season Two and produces the most cohesive story so far. This brings everything from the first two seasons together for such an incredible climax that it makes me want to watch the whole Weeds catalogue all over again. While it's not pitch perfect (as funny as the Andy military stuff was, it was a bit too much for me to buy), it's the best season so far. Superbly acted (I mean... Mary-Louise Parker... c'mon Emmys), humbly but excellently written, and visually stunning, Weeds is one of the best shows out there.
THE PACKAGE: I get the whole going green thing. I even think the fact that Weeds went green is a bit funny. However, I stopped getting it and I certainly stopped laughing when I realized that this flimsy, recycled packaging causes the DVDs to fall about and get scratched. As sympathetic as I am to the cause... I don't want to keep buying the third season of Weeds over and over because the box can't hold a DVD. A show this superb deserves packaging that will support it, and Weeds was not given that. They should re-release this in the same format as the first and second seasons, because this is truly a disservice to the loyal fans. The packaging is obviously rated a negative... let's just say fifteen, but that has no impact on how many stars I give this. Just let this passage serve as a warning that the packaging is awful... the worst I've ever seen.

Wild about "Weeds" |
|
The "Weeds" series features outrageous story lines and wonderful "adult" characters. Irreverent humor also abounds. This series (all seasons 1-3) are five star and sets the bar high for adult TV comedies/drama. |

defective quality? |
|
Did anyone else find their DVD copies sliding around in the package resulting in scrathces that jam up my player? I just got back from bestbuy and after inspecting 3 sets with the same issue I gave up. The 15 other sealed packages on the shelf were all obviously containing loose discs. I was able to watch the 1st 3 episodes before it jammed. I have to say, these episodes are dark and nancy's stress/passivity is getting tough to watch. I'm not even sure I'll try to rent these now. |
