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

 Weeds! September 30, 2008
Must have! I guarantee you won't get tired of watching it over and over again!
 Quality show September 22, 2008
Three stars because this season didn't live up to some of the hype I read about. Some of the plot points seemed a bit implausible. Still a good show at a great price, much better than Californication.
 And they all look just the same..... September 11, 2008
Showtime has found another runaway HIT! Weeds is a breath of fresh air in cable TV that is filled with hour long intense drama's. While Weeds has it's share of drama, it is the infusion of comedy that gives this show and it's characters life. And at only a 1/2 hour per episode it's a quick enjoyable watch.
Season 2 picks up the pace and doesn't stop till the end, at which point you'll be hurredly going out to get season 3! More characters are brought on to broaden the stories, and it seems that no one is what they seem. They all bring along trouble and baggage, making Nancy's life interesting to say the least!!
If you haven't watched this show and you enjoy comedy, I guarentee you'll fall in love with WEEDS.
Weeds, the television show September 10, 2008
Mary Louise Parker is smart and sexy as always. But only Weeds can provide a vehicle to make Kevin Nealon shine. Very funny look at a world unknown to me.
Over-the-top fun satire. September 9, 2008
The series is absolutely awesome. The second season is probably the weakest of the first three seasons, but it still thoroughly entertains. I won't say that is teaches great life lessons, but they are extremely clever, both in the writing and the actor's execution of the roles. The only thing I don't like is that the seasons go by too quickly, you can easily sit down and watch 5 or 6 episodes in a row. I'm just hoping they keep 'em coming.
