Summary: Very enjoyable.
Comment: It's hard for me to nail down what is so interesting about weeds. I know why it is fun. Every episode cliffhangs into the next, the writers make us care about the characters, even the ones that are being jerks. The second season ending! Wow!
What is so interesting is the moral ambiguity that everyone lives with one the show. Nancy tries to keep her sons in line while breaking the law. Children aren't sheltered they are pushed into the same lifestyle and actions as the adults. Nancy continues to walk an ever-thinning tight rope while trying to do the right thing. Perhaps the writers are trying to paint a picture of their opinion of everyday lives by going way over the top regarding the evil that we all do just to stay afloat. I don't mind that story line at all, because when somebody on the show does something wrong, or evil, they end up paying for it to some degree. It isn't like 24 where the main character breaks every rule and everything ends up forgiven. Or the writers could just be writing a television show that I'm addicted to.
Take Silas for instance, a teenager who thinks only of himself, who sleeps with his girlfriend and gets her pregnant so she will stay with him. He is disrespectful to his mother and almost every adult on the show. But he is potrayed as a "normal teenager"...When Peter or Nancy try to tell him how to behave he simply blows them off. Sorry but most teenagers don't act like that, however that is how he is potrayed. And I don't have a problem with it, because he lost his girlfriend, lost a lot of what is important to him because he acts that way. I would never watch this show if he acted like a total jerk and nothing wrong ever happened to him.
I don't usually like shows where life is potrayed as "you gotta step on someone to get by" and that the only answer to all of our problems is drugs, alcohol or sex. At least that is what all of the characters seem to do to get by. They step on all of the things that are really important in life just to get the things they want. Through all of that, you still find your self rooting for Nancy, for the two boys, for Andy, for Conrad, and even for Celia.
Every episode more is dumped onto each character's plate and all of us lean forward in our seats to see how they can not only solve their problems but just live through the day.
I like this show a lot, it presents a strange worldview. I believe there are people out there that think their lives are just this horrible and it is kill or be killed just to survive. Agree or don't, it does make WEEDS and very fun, very funny and very interesting show to watch.
