They say that parts of Southern California (as well as the tips of some of those other states between California and the Atlantic Ocean), are indistinguishable from Mexico. Esteban’s house looks like no Mexico I’ve ever been to (go Puerto Vallarta!), but I get the idea. The architecture, the tiling, the landscaping; all very Mexican […]
(Season 3, Episodes 4-6) This second batch of episodes isn’t as action-packed as the first, but nevertheless, I really like this season so far. Nancy, while still not a character I can get behind, at least isn’t making me hate her so much. It’s probably because she’s come out and told her kids she’s a […]
I may be a bit warped, but I’m seriously enjoying the fifth season of Weeds. I think that the style of humor that the show employs is just fantastic.

All you Weeds-in-Mexico haters, I know what’s really bothering you. I get it. You don’t understand who Nancy runs with these days. And, I hear you. I mean, I miss the old gang, too. Things were a lot lighter with them, a lot more fun. Well, stop your whining! What’re you going to do? Those […]
(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 […]
