Weeds

Last week third season of Weeds was released on DVD. “Weeds” is an American dark comedy TV series airs in Showtime. The third season was premiered on August 13 2007 and attracted many audiences in Showtime.
I don't have Showtime with my TV cable so I must wait until the season finished and it releases on DVD. Thanks to NetFlix you can have it in your mail box the same day of the release......
We had “Weeds” marathon this weekend and it was one of the nicest weekends of this summer so far. I started to watch the show at the beginning of the last fall and right after the first episodes I couldn't stop watching it, and couldn't wait until end of the season to get the next one.
“Weeds” started August 2005 with 10 episodes in Showtime. It' a dark comedy with story you don’t usually see in American or any conservative family oriented country for that matter……It take place in suburb California, in a gated neighborhood, with same architect, color, roads and even somehow same people…….

The show is about an upper-middle class widowed wife who lost her husband, has two sons who should support and in the meantime her brother in law arrives with no money and no place to live. Since her husband died and didn't leave her much of money, in order to keep the life style for children as it was before her husband’s death she gets involve with selling Marijuana to get quick cash. What a beauty you might think.... but her challenges and struggle as a sexy, intelligent drug dealer makes the entire show very funny, sad and somehow dark.
I like this show since it’s very much different from regular TV series. Unlike most of the TV series which focuses on the family, religious, being a good employee and all that clishey this show questions all …. And lets you to think are we really looking from the right angel? Does it really matter how much do you weight when your parent are in a constant fight for money and to obtain social degree… does it really matter? The show comes with a twisted funny angle to each problem…..Not spoiling the story, show gets even funnier when you see how the cops get involved in the same business and each wants their share….
I enjoy the black, deep sense of humor in all the characters in the show when they make fun of everything… each character developed deeply and you can relate easily to the most of them.
What does scare me in the show is how fragile human being could get when it comes to money? It does scare me because if Nancy, who is very charming, sexy and intelligent women and can get a decent job but with circumstances of the life has been driven to drug dealer business , with all the violent, murders so where is it that we are standing?
The show is very funny as long as you feel is not happening to you and most of the time you feel the frustration of a young woman who is struggling… I am not sympathizing with her in any way… and I don’t want put myself in her shoe (I would’ve of done in different way for sure) but you can’t stop thinking that you really want her to not to get caught by cops.
