Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

shivan-d A captivating story with a great cast. It could easily have gone to 10 seasons without any issues, It's unfortunate that it didn't. The only drawback of the series is casting the main role to Mary-Louise Parker. Nancy Botwin is not an easy role to play, she has to be a mother and a drug dealer. Constantly switching between these two roles requires an actress that can express the different dimensions of each role. This is where Mary-Louise Parker completely fails.

bchan1218 Well, I've just watched the first episode: I hated it. No problem with the pot selling Mary Louise Parkers character is selling, I assume it's to supplement her income. Its the language and situations that bother me. I can't imagine a parent, in real life, would want their kid in a TV series or a movie where they are part of the discussion of sex and the language discussing the sex. Oh, the money, even worse. Parkers character catches her son and girlfriend in bed and uses the F word to describe what they're up to! And Elizabeth Perkins uses the C word referring to her daughter. I am not a prude, I watch Boardwalk Empire and Game of Thrones, gratuitous sex and nudity galore but there are no child actors dragged into the action. I will not be watching another episode. And people wonder what's wrong with our society, our youth, just watch TV.

c-howard84 I tried. I really really tried to give this show a shot. I heard good things about it and was ready to take the journey but I just can't go on any further. I was expecting something like Californication or Orange is the New Black but it's not even close. The storyline is sub par and the acting is worse. What they tried to do was make a heartfelt yet comedic story about a widowed mother of 2 who struggles day to day and has to rely on selling drugs to make ends meet. It failed miserably in my opinion. Mary-Louise Parker is so not believable in this role. I feel as the story continues it shows how poorly written her character is. She goes from a weak-willed pot dealer who can't control her children and has no friends except for the people she buys her drugs from and her accountant to an even less willed pot dealer who can't control her kids. No plot points. No story arch. Just a half hour of nonsense every episode with not one snicker or chuckle. I struggled through 3 seasons and had to stop. I honestly can't believe I made it that far. I'm really not sure what genre they were writing for here. It's not dramatic, it's not a comedy, it's definitely not suspenseful, it's not slapstick... The only thing remotely funny about this show is the character development.... And what I mean by that is there is NONE! There are MUCH better shows out there to spend time on. I for one do not care how this story ends. I am just very surprised so many people love it. The only reason it gets a 2 is because of Kevin Nealon. Without him I would've given it a 1.

kosmasp Weeds means exactly what you think it means. And the show kept running even with a few bumps along the road. The running power was Mary-Louise Parker. The way she portrays the main character (a mom who has to deal with a lot of things - pun intended) is superb. There is always something surrounding her (smoke if you will - because she is hot or for another reason) and it makes the show great.The fact that she isn't perfect, but sort of "plays" it like she's innocent makes her desirable. It might not always help her grow ... as a human, but it makes a lot of her appeal. The first seasons have an awesome cliffhanger at the end of the show. Not every season can have a "bang" like this, but the series ran for 8 seasons for reason. The fact it tried different things and went different places (also literally), is really great. Actors came back to reprise their roles, even after bigger breaks.All that lends the show a feeling that makes it feel somewhat real. Even if it is over the top at times and has a lot of comedy in it. But that doesn't mean the show has no consequences. There are serious consequences, there is also nudity and a lot of swearing. If you don't like those things (viewing pleasure-wise), this isn't for you. Everyone else will have a fun time (most of the time) ... now if you see an analogy here ... that might have been intended
