San Francisco ChronicleTim Goodman
"Weeds" is colossally great... a series far better than its premise and utterly essential for devotees of smart, entertaining television.
Read Full Review >New York PostLinda Stasi
Happily, "Weeds" hasn't dropped a petal or missed even a beat this season.
Read Full Review >SalonHeather Havrilesky
This is damn fertile soil for a comedy, and creator Jenji Kohan and the writers of "Weeds" farm it for all it's worth in the show's second season, cultivating vivid, surprising stories that naturally transcend the typical limitations of the half-hour format.

[It] sometimes tries a bit too hard. Mellow out, dudes--we're addicted already. [18 Aug 2006, p.128]
Chicago TribuneMaureen Ryan
Thankfully, "Weeds" avoids the strained farce of "Desperate Housewives," and despite being billed as a comedy, the perceptively written show is actually a credible look at lives stuck in neutral and people almost trapped by their addiction to a certain level of upper-middle class comfort.
Read Full Review >Hollywood ReporterRay Richmond
It makes mincemeat of conventional TV taboos and has, in Parker, a star whom the camera adores.
Read Full Review >San Jose Mercury NewsCharlie McCollum
There's a depth, a richness to the series now that was only suggested [in the first season].
Read Full Review >People WeeklyTom Gliatto
The best thing from Season 1 remains the same: Mary-Louise Parker. [21 Aug 2006, p.37]
New York Daily NewsDavid Hinckley
Parker turns in a performance bubbling over with vitality and believability, even when the script itself strains credulity or when individual lines of dialogue slip too much into sitcom punch lines and rhythms.
Read Full Review >Detroit Free PressMike Duffy
A comedy anchored in the flawed, deeply genuine humanity of its characters often delivers the rollicking natural high of laughter.
Read Full Review >TV GuideMatt Roush
There's enough to enjoy in Weeds that you could get a contact high just by tuning in.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles TimesRobert Lloyd
It's perhaps appropriate to the subject matter that the show's main appeal is sensual rather than cerebral, grounded in a host of superb performances.
Read Full Review >The New York TimesAlessandra Stanley
“Weeds” is still an outstanding show, but it would be better if it didn’t push so hard to stand out.
Read Full Review >Seattle Post-IntelligencerMelanie McFarland
"Weeds' " executive producers, headed by creator Jenji Kohan, get kudos for keeping the show's balance of heartfelt drama and screwy comedy intact.
Read Full Review >VarietyBrian Lowry
"Weeds" still isn't quite funny or startling enough to become a compulsion but delivers enough tantalizing hits to merit the TiVo "season pass" treatment.
Read Full Review >Chicago Sun-TimesDoug Elfman
In better moments, "Weeds" proves small kerflops can be made interesting and fun to watch. In lesser moments, not so.

Anyone wasting the precious Time of Their Lives on inanity like this - really really needs to get a life and get a grip - the country slid into decadent hell 15 years ago - and that's funny? ask all the children on antidepressants.
Joey C gave it a7:
A wonderfully written and performed tv series, not reliant on its taboo subject matter for enterainment or as a cautionary tale; rather an exploration of the effect of a career choice on a mother and all the lives she touches. Witty dialogue, understated humour and tantalising cliffhangers that engage the viewer, you'll soon be addicted!
cee bee gave it a10:
Best show on TV period, please keep the fresh and funny episodes coming. Thanks again!
Jason S. gave it a10:
one of the best shows right now. I think the 3rd season wasn't as good as the rest but still very interesting. And the fourth has started becoming as funny and twisted as the first 2 seasons.
k k gave it a5:
Never laughed during the the first 2 shows of season 4. Guess it's a drama no with little quips
Nacho N. gave it a9:
It's a wonderful plot. Season 2 finale: awesome !
Karen E. gave it a10:
Cannot wait for new season we've never missed an episode never will.
