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.

Amazon.com:
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 '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

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Best
Weeds is the best series showing.

I can't wait for Season 4 to come out!!!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - This is what TV should be
Even in the face of finally getting some incredibly good TV dramas this past season ("The Riches" with Minnie Driver and Eddie Izzard, "Damages" with Glenn Close and Rose Byrne, both on FX; "Saving Grace" with Holly Hunter and Leon Rippy on TNT), "Weeds" remains one of the best pieces of television since "Once and Again" a decade ago. More subtle and yet more complex than "The Sopranos," this is Mary-Louise Parker at her best and bringing out the best in the cast around her. Incredible writing. Worth ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Just as good as the first season.
If you've seen the first season of Weeds, then you basically know what to expect from the second season. Hilarious writing and performances mixed with serious family drama. Everything gets taken up a notch in the second season, though, with Nancy getting caught up in more complex situations right up until the final moments of the season, which I won't spoil here. The comedy is also a bit broader, but always on the mark.

My only complaint is that Silas is even more insufferable than before ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - great season
I absolutely loved this season of Weeds. I bought it recently, and the picture quality is amazing in HD. Season 2 of Weeds is a must buy for anyone who liked the first Season. It only goes up from here in the story line... and leaves you with an amazing cliffhanger ending. Buy it.
