Review of Weeds

Weeds (2005–2012)
8/10
Surprisingly mature, enough to keep me watching
19 January 2010
I get distracted easily. I drop watching series easily. I stop caring about characters in series easily. Not this time.

When a series (or a movie) is trying to force something into my mouth I just grab my remote. And almost every modern series does that, mostly because ratings go high after such move.

Weeds is different. Writers somehow stopped themself from putting any gimmick plots and focused on telling something you can believe in. Then when you believe in the character, and wonderfully played by ML Parker Nancy Botwin is the one to make you care. She is just so natural, like a person that the creator probably met in his real life.

And when all the unrealistic stuff comes in it's just funny. Soap opera moves are reduced to a appropriate level. Written like somebody really cared to do a good piece of writing, not just to sell it to million of viewers And the theme. Elvis Costello's version rules
