This series is a single-camera comedy about a single mother who makes ends meet by selling marijuana in the fictional suburb of Agrestic, California.Free Download Video Weeds 15th July 2012 Episode On ABC Family Tv Online Tv Live Streaming Video. Online Watch Weeds Full Episode Watch Stream HD Video on Internet TV.The series exposes the dirty little secrets that lie behind the pristine lawns and shiny closed doors of homes in the of this gated community. Mary Louise Parker stars as the suburban mom who resorts to selling weed to support her family after her husband unexpectedly dies.Chances are that those who plainly hate Nancy gave up on Weeds sometime between her decision to burn down an entire suburb and her choice to birth the son of a corrupt Mexican politician and drug lord. But those who crave a little justice may want to take another look, if only for the litany of jokes that come at her expense: Her friend, Doug (Kevin Nealon), looks down her blouse while she's lying in a coma, while her sister, Jill (Jennifer Jason Leigh), tells Nancy's dead husband's brother, Andy (Justin Kirk), that the criminal mom won't die "because there is no God," after which the two proceed to have sex in Nancy's hospital room, banging into and brushing up against her limp, sedated body. Once you're able to overcome everyone's tasteless behavior, it begins to feel increasingly well-deserved.The larger reason why those who aren't on Team Nancy might want to revisit Weeds is that she feels almost entirely absent. Even after her coma, which serves as a surefire way to limit her screen time, the Nancy that we knew so well is nowhere to be found.
She's been replaced with a generous, charitable ray of sunshine who refuses to profit from pain and spreads the joys of marijuana throughout her hospital without earning a dime. It's a wonder no one mentions the possibility that the bullet to her head likely caused brain damage (after all, she is forgetting some of her vocabulary words).
Either way, the personality change proves more enlivening than the makeovers of previous seasons, which largely relied on the characters' changing environment (suburbia, the Mexican border, the Big Apple, etc.). The Botwins' problems are no longer falsely imposed by way of a risk-addicted drama queen, who sometimes seemed to cause trouble just to give the writers new material.
Weeds does manage to maintain the dry humor that made it a hit to begin with, and this isn't the brand of listless cynicism we get from lesser comedy writers content to appear savvy and hip. It's cynicism with a critical curiosity about human nature. When Jill meets her ex-husband for dinner, he reads a speech about his past regrets and subsequent spiritual evolution, telling her to "toss out the calcified remains of the past and embrace our vital energy."
Behind him, Andy proceeds to pick a roasted goose off a tray and sodomize it with what looks like an ear of corn. Jill is torn, glancing back and forth between the two performances, each equally absurd in its own right, while attempting an appropriate reaction to both. Season eight presents viewers with a similar dilemma, portraying on the one hand a character who seems to have become a saint overnight while simultaneously mocking those who believe in man's capacity for self-betterment.
The result is sometimes baffling, but oddly compelling, proving that it can be more important to pose an original question than to answer it articulately. Even if we never find out what really goes on in Nancy's head, the mystery of her sociopathic behavior is likely just another one of TV's great red herrings; the real stars of the series are the misfits who circle her erratic orbit.
I haven't been a dedicated fan of a TV series since Moonlighting back in the 80's but I'm totally hooked on Weeds. Mary-Louise Parker plays the role of Nancy Botwin perfectly! As a widowed housewife trying to maintain an upper class lifestyle for herself and her two sons by selling weed, she obviously encounters problems maintaining her two roles....mother and drug dealer. Parker really emphasizes this "dual role" and she does it brilliantly....you'll find yourself really feeling for the character and cheering for her all the way. Elizabeth Perkins in the role of Celia, Nancy's close friend, is phenomenal.
Watch her carefully in this show, her brilliant acting and her characters dry sarcastic nature provides much of the shows' comedic value but it is sometimes very subtle. I personally think Perkins deserves a supporting Emmy for this one. In short, Jenji Kohan has scored big-time with Weeds and I hope it enjoys a good long run on Showtime....I'm definitely a dedicated fan! My only suggestion....episodes should be an hour long!
