Yet Another High Quality Season
Showtime's series Weeds is one of the best shows on television. Each season is consistently strong- with engaging, inventive stories, complex charecters and wonderful dark comedy. Mary-Louise Parker is absolutely phenomenal as Nancy Botwin, one of the most complex and uncompromising charecters to ever appear on television. Parker is backed by an always reliable supporting cast who bring humor and heart to the at times, very dark proceedings. Weeds' Fifth Season is the slowest one but that does not mean it's bad. It is the most character driven season, we get to see the true colors of these charecters and what they really want, and at times, its not pretty. Nancy continues her downward spiral and drags her youngest son Shane down with her. Silas becomes the emotional center of this extremely dysfunctional family, and at 18 has become the real father figure. Andy strives to get out of Nancy's grasp and start his own life while Celia tries her hardest to be a different person and at times actually tries to BE Nancy. This season is all about coming to terms with the inevitable and face the consequences. There is plenty here to reward long time fans of the show and viewers interested in the psychological make-up of these crazy charecters. The season finale promises to set up more of the themes established in this season. I cant wait to see what happens next. Weeds is still my personal favorite show on TV, layered, funny, deep and always surprising.

- Wonderful, Wonderful

Consistently innovative and exciting plot twists
Season Five is totally unpredictable. Just when I think that Nancy has no more moves to make, she finds a way to wriggle out of each disastrous situation and actually come out ahead.

The character of Estaban has been a great addition to the cast. He keeps things exciting in the show by adding a much more dangerous element than merely selling drugs. Nancy finds herself between a rock and a really hard place. She is in danger of losing her home, her family, her sanity, and her life.

The most exciting season yet, must see t.v.

improvement over last season
This was a great series when it started. Interesting plot and characters that you wouldn't normally see on TV. Then it went downhill BIG TIME. Happy to say this season has somewhat redeemed things and is a big improvement on the last. Funny but also interesting with plots and characters not totally out of the question. Definitely something you won't see on broadcast television. Fans of Showtime or HBO comedies will like this. If you've liked the show in the past, give this season a shot. Good stuff.
