The first season of Weeds ended with a shocker: Nancy (Mary-Louise Parker) found a dreamy new boyfriend, but he turned out to be a DEA agent (Martin Donovan). Luckily, she manages to find some pretty creative ways to "deal" with it. Despite that new obstacle, she decides it's also time to "grow" the business to higher levels, and all these risky moves lead up to another fabulous season finale cliff-hanger. Elsewhere in suburban utopia, comic relieving brother-in-law Andy (Justin Kirk) tries to dodge his army commitments by joining Rabbi school, while the hilarious Doug (Kevin Nealon) battles it out with Celia (Elizabeth Perkins) to maintain power over the Agrestic City Council. Plot aside, Season 2 of Weeds took this potentially great show to the next level. No matter how hard they tried in the first season, the show's makers had a heck of a time trying to shake the impression that they were mimicking the edginess of HBO's original programming. (Some might have gone as far as to say they were trying a little too hard.) This time around, the characters and the story have grown into their own skins, and they offer something much more authentic and convincing. The second season also starts a great new tradition: Malvina Reynolds `s "Little Boxes" is still the opening theme song, but it is performed by a different artist for each episode (from Elvis Costello to The Shins). Just one more thing to keep us "addicted." --Jordan Thompson

2) Description
Funnier, darker and more daring, the second season of this acclaimed Showtime series reaches a higher ground. Golden Globe winner Mary-Louise Parker stars as Nancy Botwin, the soccer mom who had to learn how to deal - pot, that is - after the death of her husband. Now, her business is a hit. But keeping up with the neighbors in this suburban utopia isn't easy. She's joined up with a few of her closest friends, and together they're facing life's highs and lows - because even in paradise, nobody's perfect. Don't miss WEEDS, an addictive comedy, the highest grade TV has to offer.

1) How Deep Do You Need It?   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Mary Louise Parker plays Nancy, a mother trying to make ends meet after her husband dies. Desperate to keep her family together as well as keep up their standard of living in upscale suburban community Agrestic, Nancy starts dealing marijuana. This show has depth if you need it but you can also just view this series as a fun romp full of charming characters in a sexy suburban setting. There's an iceberg here-an underplot if you look for it. Nancy is self-conscious about the fact that the neighbors seem to know her husband spent all of their savings on a kitchen remodel before he died. She wonders if her neighbors will know her Prada is fake. But instead of downscaling her life, she turns to dealing drugs supplied to her by black friends that live on the wrong side of town. When she needs it, it's the black folks that come through for her but that doesn't stop her from somewhat betraying them when her DEA boyfriend/husband demands it. Neither does it stop her from denying the sexual chemistry that exists between her and her black business partner Conrad. Nancy walks a fine line between the life she should lead and the life she's trying to lead. Despite almost never doing the right thing, Nancy is a character you will like because it's apparent that in this modern life, morals get compromised in super shiny suburbia.

2) Awesome show   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Awesome show, I started watching this show because of Mary-Louis Parker. She was on the west wing and then I followed her to this show and I am glad I did. What an amazing show and I cant wait for the next season to pop up on dvd

3) weeds 2   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
so good.. but i can't believe they left me hanging like that! come on man

4) Darker and more dangerous; also more fun   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This season is darker and more dangerous than the first, and even more fun this time around, as Nancy's business expands away from the bakery and into a grow house; as the conniving, vengeful Celia wreaks havoc in the lives of her fellow Agrestic citizens; as Nancy's sons come to terms with what she does for a living and their own love interests; as Nancy's lover and husband of convenience turns the tables on her and Conrad; as Conrad becomes more enamored of Nancy, and Halia (sp?) shuns her as a business rival.The final episode of this season contains such a shocking and frightening cliffhanger that I won't even give a hint about it here. Watch it for yourself and you will find yourself on the edge of your seat!

5) Most Amazing   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
