    When I tell you that Weeds is off to a good start with Monday (Aug. 16) night's sixth season premiere, you have to know that what I'm saying is that it's pushing the story forward in interesting ways, not that Weeds has gone back to being the show it was in Season Two.
  2. So Weeds still has its highs. It just may not be all that long before we'll be getting the munchies.

    The result is both good and bad: On the one hand, Weeds feels fresh again. On the other, the writers still don't know what sort of show they're making, and the supporting cast keeps getting shoehorned into new roles.

  1. Can I have my review deleted please? It is as follows: Weeds returns for its sixth season and this time the Botwin Bunch are on the run. Even though the characters are running from their problems, it seems that the writers instead are running from the problems that seasons four and five brought to the show. Weeds has always been able to maintain its levity that gave it a realistic touch and, surprisingly, has regained the balance between dark comedy and light drama that it lost in season five. It seems as though Weeds is getting back to business and bringing back the show it had left behind. While it has lost many great aspects it had in earlier seasons (mainly Celia, Conrad, Heylia, the city of Agrestic and its social satire) it goes on without them, not even taking a look back. Wither this means that it can go on to become a great show like it was in previous years is unknown. However, all we know for sure is that it has kept Nancy on a very long journey and this time she is going back to her roots, the drug business. Full Review »
  2. This season is the worst one. It's just not that exciting or funny. But it's needed to push the show into a new direction (season 7). It leads up to make season 7, which is pretty good. Full Review »
  3. This was my favorite season of Weeds. I really liked them on the run. Yet another great season ending. I love Mary-Louise Parker. Great acting all around. Full Review »
