I’ve heard that Season 5 of Weeds is not only dark, but bleak. I totally buy it, because the end of season 4 definitely sets the tone. We’ve got skin being sanded off of a person, betrayal, probable murder, kidnapping, and faux-suicide. So, you know, it’s definitely awesome that they keep on putting Mary-Louise Parker in […]
(Season 4, Episodes 10-11) We’re hurtling toward the season 4 finale, and Nancy is going all out. She’s on drugs and ignoring her kids, who are sleeping with older women, selling drugs in sandwiches, and having threesomes. While she seems to be hell-bent on destruction, other characters are trying to improve their lives. Dean comes […]
(Season 4, Episodes 7-9) Well, we’re halfway through season 4, and I’m freaking out: I’m almost out of episodes! What am I going to do? This batch of episodes saw Nancy re-enter the drug dealing business after her brief hiatus, and we were given a glimpse of some familiar faces, just to have them cruelly […]
(Season 4, Episodes 1-3) After the season finale, I was expecting more of an earth-shattering premiere than what we got. Instead, we have everyone in Agrestic/Majestic pretty much going on with their lives (in FEMA-approved hotel rooms). Well, except for Celia, that is, who has gotten an amazing prison makeover, courtesy of everyone being completely […]

(Season 3, Episodes 10-12) Between a PI shakedown, and having to hold a knife to Celia’s throat after she also tried to blackmail her, Nancy does not exactly have a ton of friends. She’s still sleeping with Sullivan, which is gross, but then quickly moves onto … Conrad? I definitely didn’t think that would happen […]
(Season 2, Episodes 10-12) I’ve had some problems with several episodes this season, and quite frankly, midway through I was not looking forward to season 3. I just find Nancy so fundamentally unlikeable, that I was having a hard time with the entire premise of the show. However, Doug and Celia’s affair, and the introduction […]
