Show to Watch: Weeds
Over the past day or so I have become addicted to the Showtime Original Series Weeds.
Here is a quick synopsis from StarPulse:
Produced for cable’s Showtime service, the half-hour Weeds starred Mary-Louise Parker as suburban housewife Nancy Botwin, whose comfy, affluent existence was shattered by the unexpected death of her husband. With no other readily available source of income, Nancy decided to service an ever-growing consumer demand — by selling marijuana to other white-bread suburbanites. Purchasing her pot from streetwise dealer Conrad Shepard (Romany Malco) and his aunt, supplier Heylia James (Tonye Patano), Nancy set up her new business enterprise using a bakery as a front, with the assistance of city councilman Doug Wilson (Kevin Nealon) — all the while keeping her activities a secret from her snooty, traditionalist best friend, PTA president Celia Hodes (Elizabeth Perkins).
The show is quick (not drawn out) witty (not boring) and unpredictable (not lame). The dialog is on point, and each and every character is worth loving. If you are looking for a TV series to get into I highly recommend Weeds!
