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

Rating:  - weeds.
I love this show. Its very funny, and interesting. I bought all three seasons and i love them all.
Rating:  - Actually Made Me Laugh Outloud
Very seldom do I find a television show or movie that actually makes me laugh out loud, but Weeds - Season Two, actually accomplished this not once, but several times! I was kind of leery about watching this series but now I am hooked and hope they keep them coming!
Rating: - Best Season
This is the best season of Weeds. The writing is clever and funny, and the story line keeps you on the edge of your seat. This season is a big improvement over season 1.
Rating: - still one good series on tv
Thank heavens there is still one good series on tv! What can I say about WEEDS? IT IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT IN CHARACTERS, FUNNY, DRAMATIC, UPLIFTING, AND JUST ONE GREAT WATCH. Most of tv today is crap, so LIVE ON WEEDS!!!!!!!!!
Rating: - Very enjoyable.
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 ... Read More
