In the Weeds

I was lured into purchasing Showtime and TMC for two years at about $5 a month just before the new season of Dexter premiered (major incentive). Said $5/month included Showtime on Demand and TMC on Demand, which fortunately included "All Things Weeds".


LOVE this show.

Extremely short breakdown: Suburban wife turns suburban widow. Suburban widow becomes drug dealer. Complications arise regarding drug-dealing widow's juvenile children, as well as drug-dealing widow's choice of bed-partners. Actually this lasts for quite a few episodes as well as partners. And my goodness, Mary-Louise Parker makes 40 look like the new 20.

Performances by Kevin Nealon and Justin Kirk bring on the worthy laughs the show deserves. Elizabeth Perkins is fabulous; and newcomers Hunter Parrish, Alexander Gould and Allie Grant give hope to future television greatness.

Weeds is a 30-minute Showtime comedy/drama that is about to begin its 6th season. I encourage anyone with access to Showtime on Demand to Begin the Begin and follow the Weeds as far as their reach allows.
