Nancy goes on a long, strange trip as Weeds celebrates its fourth year. After Mary-Louise Parker's drug-dealing mom burns down the Agrestic rental, the Botwin clan flees to Bubbie's beach house, near Tijuana, where they reluctantly join forces with Nancy's cranky father-in-law, Lenny (Albert Brooks). While Celia (Elizabeth Perkins) does time for renting out a grow house, Nancy cozies up to a Mexican drug cartel. With nowhere else to go, Doug (Kevin Nealon) joins Nancy, Andy (Justin Kirk), Silas (Hunter Parrish), and Shane (Alexander Gould) in Ren Mar.
Sometimes change is a good thing, sometimes not. As creator Jenji Kohan explains in her commentary, "The writers were getting kind of restless." Adds writer Roberto Benabib: "We were done with suburbia." Fortunately, the new location adds interest, and Brooks makes for an inspired (albeit brief) addition, but Celia's punishment--humiliation, beating, pistol whipping--for selling out Nancy goes on too long. (The original theme song and opening credits also disappear after the premiere.) When a cigar-chomping politico (Demián Bichir) and an attractive divorcée (Julie Bowen) with an eye for 17-year-old Silas enter the picture, events take a darker, sexier turn. Even 13-year-old Shane, who longs to join the family business, acquires a couple of groupies.
As in previous years, the season ends with a cliffhanger, but in light of the insurmountable scrapes she's got herself into before, Nancy seems likely to emerge unscathed in year five when Jennifer Jason Leigh joins the show. If comedy takes a backseat to drama this time around, Weeds remains compulsively, addictively watchable. Bonus features include seven cast and crew commentaries--Parker and Gould are the only key players missing--and eight featurettes, including a tour of Bubbie's tchotchke-filled abode and a look at the Drug Enforcement Agency, which plays a regular part in the program. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Season's 1, 2, and definitely 3 were quite a bit better than the season 4 of Weeds. It moves away from the suburban life that we've grown to love and into a darker more drug realistic lifestyle. This show isn't trying to glamorize the drug industry anymore... at least not in this season.

I think this series has "outrageously" outraged its own self as a full out no-holds-barred parody. Now Nancy Botwin and family move to a borderland seaside town near San Diego. She seeks out her father-in-law, who is of course a gambling ner-do-well, played sardonically by Albert Brooks. He quickly moves out of the story, Nancy has a hot affair w/ a Mexican dictator/gangster, one son gets an older lover who sells pot in her once unpopular cheese shop that refused to sell hoagies, the other son is the schoolyard stud. And Andy, I guess the writer's gave up on him. Exausted and bored, me too!
I really used to like this show. I loved the twisting story lines. I even adored Zooey Decheunel as one of Andy's flames. Get w/ Nip/Tuck and make up for it in season Five!!

Hey, great series... However this is the second time that Amazon has delivered a set of dvds where one is severely damaged. No noticable marks/scratches but disc will not play and freezes up system. Returns for full refund are only if item has not been opened... the exchange policy requires return for half refund and then you have to buy it again at full price. Very dissatisfied customer.

AMAZING SHOW ...GREAT 4TH SEASON LOVE EVERY CHARACTER ON THE SHOW! CAN'T WAIT FOR SEASON FIVE
Rating: -
A lot of people didn't like Season 4 of Weeds, but as someone who watched all of the seasons in a 2 week time frame, I don't see where all the criticism comes from. Yes, it is different but isn't that what keeps us coming back? The show has to evolve or it would get old. I love the Mexico connection and all the new characters. After watching Season 5, it does appear Season 4 was more an introduction of the new storyline and then Season 5 takes it to the next level.
As a mother, I am a bit uncomfortable with the storyline of the oldest son's involvement in selling the drugs - but other than that Weeds is just a great show that is high on the entertainment spectrum. Mary Louise cracks me up - cool under pressure and Kevin Nealon is at his best. If you have never watched this series, get all seasons and enjoy the ride!
