An entertaining dark comedy drama {spoilers}


SPOILERS.

The first time i watched this was season 1 on a UK cable channel years and years ago and have started streaming this show again on my laptop, i must say that Weeds is strangely entertaining, iv'e only seen the actress Mary-Louise Parker in the RED movies and in the movie "The Client" as well as this and it's good to see that she isn't typecast, it shows her versatility as an actress.

The stereotype black characters are a little bit annoying.

Overall, the performances by all the cast are fantastic.

Celia is very unlikable {as she's supposed to be} i still want to like this character, but it's impossible, the relationship between Celia and her teenage daughter is sad, an episode that i'll always remember is when they're both in a shop (store) and Celia tells her daughter in a nasty tone to go and get her a soda, and the daughter wasn't having any of it.

In reality most people in Nancy's position would rather sell the house and live in a bad neighbourhood rather than mess with the law, but this is just fiction.

As a Christian i probably won't continue streaming this, people take the natural herb from God's green earth and mix it with nasty man-made chemicals and make their gross weed and other drugs.

The positive thing about this show is that there ARE talented actors and writers and that the show finally ended or got cancelled, whatever you want to call it.
