Weeds	comment	Weeds is a half-hour dramedy series created by Jenji Kohan that aired from 2005 to 2012 on Showtime.The show initially centered on Nancy Botwin (played by Mary-Louise Parker), a housewife in the fictional suburb of Agrestic, California, who, following the sudden death of her breadwinner husband, turns to dealing marijuana to provide for her sons Silas and Shane, respectively 15 and 10 when the show begins.The cast is rounded out by her mooching brother-in-law Andy, her Rich Bitch friend/nemesis Celia Hodes, Celia's long-suffering husband and daughter Dean and Isabelle, her supplier Heylia James, Heylia's grow expert nephew Conrad Shepard, and Doug, the perennially drugged-out city councilman who assists Nancy with the monetary aspect of her "business".The show came down with a bit of Cerebus Syndrome during its run, transitioning from a farcical (if often incredibly dark) comedy to a straight dramedy with plenty of subplots played for drama rather than laughs, starting around the time the setting changed to Ren Mar, California, another fictional town along the border to Mexico. The numerous characters were eventually pared down, and ultimately the show focused primarily on Nancy's family unit and Doug.Nevertheless, the series garnered critical acclaim for much of its run and became an influential female-centered drama, leading Kohan to write Orange Is the New Black. It has indirectly inspired shows like the British stoner-dramedy Ideal, and even Breaking Badnote Vince Gilligan wrote the series without knowing that a show about a drug-dealing anti-hero already existed; when he learned about it, he did everything he could to prevent his show from looking too similar to Weeds, and he's admitted that had he known about Weeds in advance, he wouldn't have gone through with his show, while the series itself is largely inspired from the 2000 British movie Saving Grace. Weeds even won an Emmy and a Golden Globe and remains one of Showtime's most popular shows.In November 2019, it was reported that a sequel series was in development at Starz, with Parker returning as Nancy.Now has a character page that could use some love.

After Lupita finds out about Nancy's marijuana business and uses it to blackmail her into keeping her employed, she's essentially stuck at the Botwin house with nothing left to do but collect paychecks. She stuck around for almost two whole seasons before the writers came up with an excuse to dump her early in Season 3.

Weeds / int_222dc873	comment	Black Comedy One of the darkest moments is the finale of Season 4: As Nancy drives herself back into Mexico to answer to Estaban (whom Nancy is certain knows that she double-crossed him and that she will most likely be killed), she calls a gift basket delivery service and, in one of the tensest scenes of the entire show, messily narrates a card addressed to Silas to be placed on the basket. The sales lady eventually pushes Nancy to add butter cookies onto the order, too. Cue the first episode of Season 5: Silas has received the basket (card complete with a signature of "Me. Mom.") and Andy goes on about how simple yet elegant the flavour of the butter cookie is. In the same episode, Celia Hodes is kidnapped and held for ransom. None of the main cast will pay the ransom and spare her death. The responses to the phone calls are still hilarious, though.

Weeds / int_23698fa8	comment	Aborted Arc: The Pilot made it seem like Doug's son, Josh, was going to be a major player in the series. Also in the Pilot, Josh gave clues to Nancy that Doug is not entirely who he seems to be and would not like the idea of Josh being gay. Apparently the writers remembered this midway through Season 4, where Doug gets into a habit of making jokes about his off-screen gay son for a few episodes. Surprisingly this plot was picked up and brought to a conclusion 7 years later during the series finale! Alejandro: After being introduced as rival drug dealer in season one, and built up to become Nancy's "muscle" in her operation after having angry sex, he disappears unnoticed even by Nancy who starts complaining about her lack of "muscle" later on. At the end of Season 5, Celia, Doug, Dean, Isabelle, Sanjay, and Ignacio are shown to have formed a weed-dealing business after all their antics. While it's shown what happens to Doug and Dean, the other characters are given very little mention for the rest of the series.

A running theme in the early seasons is that Nancy's attempts to provide for her children often result in her spending very little time with them, and her absence may be contributing to their very troubling sociopathic behavior. After the Cerebus Syndrome kicks in, Nancy frequently and openly acknowledges her parental shortcomings, and wonders more than once whether or not her actions are motivated by selfishness, and whether or not she always chooses to get back into the drug game because she's attracted to chaos and danger.

Nancy is a successful mogul of a now legal pot enterprise. By the end of the series she faces the fact that she will have an empty nest, with two of her sons moved out, one in the course of moving out, and her fourth husband dead in a car accident. For the first time she will live her life without supporting anyone or being supported emotionally. She decides to sell her enterprise to Starbucks. Silas is a co-owner of Nancy's pot enterprise and is Happily Married to his high school sweetheart who he has a newborn daughter with. Shane lived his life as an alcoholic with his Corrupt Cop mentor. He decides to leave the force and check into rehab. Doug is a cult leader. Also he makes up with his son, Josh, who he had previously disowned. Andy is now a father and a restaurant owner in his home town Ren Mar. While he will always love Nancy, he says that he can never be around her again. Stevie is a soccer prodigy. At the young age of 13 he is already facing an identity crisis, growing up with his now deceased adoptive rabbi father and discovering the truth about his biological drug lord father in addition to facing the fact that his mother has a "very confusing history". He convinces Nancy to let him transfer to boarding school in Minnesota during his bar mitzvah, which he walked out of. In addition there are aside comments from most of the characters who returned for the finale, mentioning what they're doing with their lives.

In Seasons 4 and 5, each episode has a different way of displaying the show's title, the show's creator, and a pot leaf that's relevant to the episode. For example, an episode centered around euthanasia has the info appear in an EKG, while an episode that involves a bar has the info appear on a bar poster. And then in Season 5, an episode displays the title on a Wikipedia page that plays "Little Boxes" when clicked on. "Little Boxes" returns as the theme song in Season 8, with the original artist version for the last episode.

Weeds / int_cfdb9e17	comment	Cerebus Syndrome: In Season 1, it's something like Desperate Housewives with more sex, drugs and cussin'; by the end of Season 4, it's a half-hour version of The Sopranos. With grosser jokes. For example, the first three seasons have Nancy running a front bakery, figuring out how to hide her job from a DEA agent, then opening a grow house. Season four finishes as Guillermo is trafficking women. Doug is indulging in auto-erotic asphyxiation. Shane is dealing and having group sex with teenage goth girls after he finds out he's been intentionally masturbating to naked pictures of his mother. Celia is kidnapped by her eldest daughter who's planning on killing and gutting her to sell her body parts on the black market. Silas, who at this point is still a minor, dumps the thirty-something MILF he's been having sex with after her ex-husband finds out about the two of them and tells her he's going to use it to get full custody of their son. Agent Till's boyfriend gets his face sanded off while getting tortured by Esteban's muscle. Andy, Nancy's brother-in-law, realizes he is in love with her as she drives to her death, only to have it averted when she reveals she is pregnant with Esteban, the main drug-lord's, baby. A long way from Nancy selling pot-laced lollipops in season 1. Season 5 has a better balance with Andy falling in love with a doctor, Nancy getting married, and Shane coming to the rescue. Season 6 and 8 feature more jokes than dramatic stakes.

Weeds / int_de7b7cbf	type	Drugs Are Bad
Weeds / int_de7b7cbf	comment	Drugs Are Bad: When the show was announced, and for a good chunk of its run, some critics accused it of glorifying drug use. As the series progressed, however, while not following the trope exactly, drugs have not exactly had a positive impact on the protagonists. The finale has Nancy selling pot legally, leaving the series closer to averting than confirming the trope, though the body count linked to her illegal sales remains.

Weeds / int_e39638a1	comment	Turn Coat: Given that the show has several characters, and everyone's pretty much in it for themselves, this shouldn't come as a surprise after a while. Celia takes the cake, though, when, at the end of Season 3, she turns on the team pretty much as soon as the police take her in, when realistically, all she had to do was play dumb and the lot of them likely could have gotten off scot-free. Immediately afterwards, however, the rest of Nancy's team turns on CELIA, implicating her as the kingpin of the operation.

Celia's admiration of Shane eating so many bananas... An Agrestic resident was mentioned in passing several times, since he would ride a Segway nude at night. Guess who rode by right at the end of an episode after another major bombshell Nancy had to deal with? The first time Doug sees Andy in season 1, he calls him Randy. Guess what Andy's new name is as of season 6.
