my weeds description from another thread":u6l6lomn said:Showtime, baby! Weeds is about a mother who is coping with the recent death of her husband, and she is stuck with their two children. It's not easy to keep up their high-class suburban life, and she has to support her family by becoming the local pot dealer. I'm not a drug person myself but I can still really get into the show. Like I said about all of these others, it's about the characters, and thats what really drives it. This show, more than probably any other on the list, has serious ups and serious downs. You could be laughing your ass off and crying your eyes out in the same episode.
okay the new season of weeds started, and i just watched the first episode. it's a decent lead-in to something new, i think. the humor and style of the series is the same and hopefully it will stay that way, since that was always the biggest draw to the show. but the entire setting is changing completely from california suburbs to the mexican border.
it makes sense in a way, since as a drug dealer she is expanding and it goes with the theme of the show in that way. plus it seems like they've already gotten as much as they can from agrestic/majestic, so it's natural to take it to the next level. plus i actually really like the character of guillermo. it seems like he might be replacing conrad, which is unfortunate since i liked conrad a lot (who didn't) but guillermo isn't a shitty character and i wouldn't mind him being more of a regular character.
still i have my doubts, but i'll be watching anyway.
