Summary: Get your Nug Thug on!
Comment: In wonderful continuance of the WEEDS story this years shows are much more polished but still twisted with the unanticipated. The main characters have really evolved and thankfully even though we fall in love with all the newbies as they depart it makes spacey room for even dishier friends, lovers, and competitors.Fearless is a good word for both the writers and actors.

Summary: Weeds Season 3 DVD
Comment: Shipped on time, recieved in great condition. This is an addicting complex drama worth watching. Very whitty and fun. Gives a real look into the underworld of suberbia and toys with the notion of "that could never happen where I live." I must watch.

Summary: Weeds3 Showtimes Best
Comment: Weeds is a wonderful, funny, sometimes sad and always well written Showtime series. It has everything including many laughs and a few tears. Who could want more? I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!!!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Naughty fun that could get you killed
Comment: Third season gets gritty on the danger, corrupt politics, odd sex, and "complicated" situations. It still maintains a sense of humor, while delving into the dark motives under the surface of suburbia.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Weeds, Season 3
Comment: Best season so far and hope for more. But to be able to appreciate Season 3, you have to watch Seasons 1 & 2. Funny suburbia melodrama.

Weeds: Season Three continues the dark line of comedy that emerged in the previous season for this Showtime series. The story picks up exactly where it left off, with Nancy Botwin (Mary-Louise Parker) faced with a half-dozen guns pointing at her in her own kitchen, while an Armenian gang and Nancy's buyer, U-Turn (Page Kennedy), both demand she turn over her entire stash of marijuana (worth several hundred thousand dollars). Problem is, the pot is in the trunk of on-again, off-again friend Celia (Elizabeth Perkins), whose car has been stolen by Nancy's oldest son, Silas (Hunter Parrish). Silas wants in on mom's business, but his timing couldn't be worse as Celia and a police officer show up to reclaim the car while Nancy is still at gunpoint. The fallout from all this is that Nancy ends up working for U-Turn to repay her debt to him, a dangerous relationship that sends Nancy down a rabbit hole of underworld threats and violence. Meanwhile, Celia gets booted out of her home by her husband and becomes estranged from her young daughter, Isabelle (Allie Grant), who insists she's a lesbian. Celia rebounds a bit when a corrupt developer (Matthew Modine) gives her a house in exchange for her support on city council for one of his schemes. That goes wrong, too, when Celia allows Nancy, Doug (Kevin Nealon), and Conrad (Romany Malco), all of whom go into business after U-Turn stops being a problem, to put their endangered trove of marijuana plants in her house. Nancy's other son, Shane (Alexander Gould), claims he can see and talk to the ghost of Nancy's late husband, and Nancy's brother-in-law Andy (Justin Kirk) goes AWOL from the U.S. Army after his comrade is deliberately killed in an experimental missile test. As always, it's one thing after another on Weeds, and the blend of humor and suspense is uniquely compelling. Parker and the rest of the cast pull off some pretty surreal situations with great credibility. The show's lead star, particularly, can carry moments of blended terror and comedy: one of the season's most memorable moments finds Nancy forced to put on a sexy dance for a group of drug dealers in order to pick up a package U-Turn requires. The scene is humiliating, frightening, sexy, and comical all at once. Few actresses could have pulled it off, but Parker does. --Tom Keogh
