Back at home, Doug makes enemies with the neighbor's dog.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. 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.The final season of Weeds sees the Botwins settling in the suburbs of Connecticut.There's something unsettling about the opening sequence of Weeds's season-eight premiere, and it has little to do with the fact that the main character, Nancy Botwin (Mary-Louise Parker), has just been shot in the head. Rather, we're suddenly forced to see the world through the eyes of this pot-dealing widow and mother of three, whose dealings have threatened her family's stability and safety, by way of a tilt-a-whirl POV shot.
It appears to signal a willingness on the part of the writers to finally explore the question viewers have been grappling with all along: What actually goes on inside this woman's mind? Nancy is one of television's most incomprehensibly selfish and self-sabotaging protagonists, so it isn't surprising that the writers still seem to be figuring her out.
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.
This show is as good as it gets. As in, Six Feet Under good, without being any kind of clone: it's its own magical world, of which there will be many future clones, but nothing will ever come close to this for wit, emotion, pacing, or perfection of casting.
This show says This Is Us like nothing I've seen in a long time. Showtime has done some good shows, and they've been getting better (after decades of astonishingly lazy creative thinking) but in Weeds the we-try-harder network finally has a true destination series.
For one thing, Mary Louise Parker, who is always brilliant, here manages to pull it off with none of the mannerisms that have colored some of her lesser roles: she is luminescent and true in every moment.
And the kids? And the son's girlfriend? You get this weird feeling there was no camera around--there couldn't have been for people to come off this completely real. Bravo bravo bravo! Can't wait to see episode 2.
