Review
Weeds is a hilarious comedy following other trendsetting shows like The Sopranos and Six Feet Under that deal with real life issues (using real life language). Sometimes wonderfully dark and sometimes very blunt the humour seems to suit each episode's general mood.
The quickly progressing story lines provide plenty of interest and we quickly develop a sympathy for the main characters through some genuinely emotional dilemmas especially Nancy but this is no doubt helped by the fact that she is a gorgeous soccer mum in distress.
The small number of episodes in each series might be a little disappointing but is easily forgiven in helping to maintain the high quality and originality of each episode. I can't wait for season 2.
