  • Starring: Mary-Louise Parker, Kevin Nealon, Justin Kirk
  • Summary: This series is a single-camera comedy about a single mother who makes ends meet by selling marijuana in the fictional suburb of Agrestic, California.

    Funny, quick, amusing, sad, relate able, and completely satisfying. I love this show! Parker is a great actress who really makes the show what it is and the writers do a fantastic job of creating voice and inventing these fun and bubbly personalities! i can not get enough of this show!… Expand

    It started out slow and ended with a bang. I had heard great things and gave it a shot. I'm glad I did. It gets better in the later seasons. I'm now in love with a few of the ladies on the show. LOL… Expand

    First three seasons are classic, but what happens later is just a loose cluster of bad writing, awkward jokes and terribly unfunny situations. You keep hoping that it will get better, but it doesn't, and I don't think it will.… Expand

    Weeds had so much potential, but unfortunately Mary-Louise Parker ruins it. She is not funny or entertaining to watch at all. I am very disappointed with this show because the main character should have been Kevin Nealon instead. He is the only reason why my rating isn't a 0.… Expand
