User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Weeds is a winner
Another season of Weeds, another set of problems for Nancy and her family. Luckily their biting humor helps them get through tougher and tougher times and keeps the audience laughing and wanting more. With a whirlwind beginning and a great cliff hanger, the Weeds cast wins your hearts and keeps you wanting more!
3 Stars Down Hill but Still Fun
Short as ever (only 12 episodes) and more implausible by the moment, the show still manages to produce some decent laughs, but has been nothing like the high 
it started on. Nancy Botwin (Mary-Louise Parker) and Doug Wilson (Kevin Nealon) continue to be the main reason to watch. The youngest son, Andy, is becoming more interesting though.
Overall, this is a Netflix or other rental. The money to purchase these DVDs can give you a whole month of new stuff, rather than just a few nights of Weeds.
1 Stars Get Season One ONLY, Don’t Bother With The Rest.
This show had promise when it first aired, and I still watch Season 1 on a regular basis.
But then it got too violent, everybody got arrested, and they all ran down to Mexico. That’s when this series went downhill and they lost me.
I did buy Season 2 and watched it once. It’s not on my repeat list.
For a series about marijuana, they don’t have much of it.
A disappointing run for a series that had potential in the first few episodes.
I think they fired all the pothead writers and replaced them with meth-heads.
3 Stars Bonus feature glitch
Its possible I got a defective set and this problem doesn’t exist with all copies. Its also possible my $150 Blu-Ray player is to blame, but in the disc 2 bonus feature “University of Andy” segment “satisfying a woman”, the audio and video are wildy out of sync, and it plays like a poorly buffered YouTube video. Does anyone else have this problem? I can’t seem to find any other mention of this issue on any other review boards.
5 Stars An Improvement over Season Four
Found the fifth season of Weeds much better than the fourth. Lots of good physical comedy blended in with the gags, which seemed up to the earlier seasons in frequency and quality. All the characters develop well in this season, some had been dull and flat in Season 4. I think everyone involved deserves a hash cookie for keeping that storyline going through so many seasons without becoming stale or completely absurd in a show that is already bizarre. Very nice comeback, though I still miss the song and the guest musicians.
