	‘Weeds’-Television-Review - New York Times
		When “Weeds” began on Showtime it was a “Queer as Folk” for the illegal drug trade, a dark comedy that depicted suburban marijuana use as boldly and matter-of-factly as the previous series did the sexual practices of gay men.
		Crime is never as illicit as sex on American television, so there was not nearly as much outrage over the mischievous portrait of a suburban soccer mom who deals pot to make ends meet.
		“Weeds” didn’t shrink from casting the series’ only African-American characters as drug dealers, and it moved quickly and confidently beyond stereotypes, particularly in the case of Conrad (Romany Malco), Nancy’s partner in crime and the nephew of the sharp-tongued fl matriarch, Heylia (Tonye Patano).

	Chicago Tribune \| The Watcher
		“Weeds” grows in the bountiful comedic world of suburban compromise; everybody in Agrestic, Calif., where Botwin lives, seems to want just a bit more satisfaction, but it’s so nice to drink wine by the pool that they never get around to thinking up any real dreams to fulfil.
		Thankfully, “Weeds” avoids the strained farce of “Desperate Housewives,” and despite being billed as a comedy, the perceptively written show is actually a credible look at lives stuck in neutral and people almost trapped by their addiction to a certain level of upper-middle class comfort.
		The supporting characters on “Weeds.” Mary-Louise Parker deserved the Golden Globe she won as the pot-selling suburban mom on this buzzworthy Showtime program, which returns with an excellent second season 9 p.m.

	Greatness of 'Weeds' could make Showtime must-pay-for television
		Many people who are paid to ponder these issues also like to wonder aloud whether "Weeds" is the series that will open the door for more great series, writers and actors to flood into the Showtime family, thus making it particularly hard on working families with good taste to meet their monthly cable nut.
		First, it's important not to think of "Weeds" as a comedy (some might say dramedy) about marijuana and, specifically, a suburban widow who turns to dealing to maintain her lifestyle.
		Just when you think "Weeds" is going to be simple -- suburban drug dealer mom, fl-white class struggles, Stepford wives on the PTA, etc. -- she finds the gradations in character that make this one of the smartest and most entertaining character studies on television.

	The New Yorker : critics : television
		“Weeds,” a new Showtime comedy series in which a suburban widow takes up the not very noble profession of pot-dealing after her husband drops dead, can’t be called courageous, since the premium-cable networks have little to lose when they venture into controversial territory, but it is nonetheless daring.
		Luckily, “Weeds,” which was created by Jenji Kohan, who also wrote almost half the episodes (her first name sounds almost like a slang term for marijuana), is better than its theme song.
		“Weeds” has something of the comic tone of “Arrested Development” when it comes to its attitude toward what makes this country hum (though that show, which is more freewheeling, actually takes a harder line on its subject, presenting the American dream as bankrupt), but it also works as a drama.

		With its fantastic comedy series Weeds, cable network Showtime finally gave up its also-ran status to HBO and found itself with a controversial, buzz-worthy show that was as hilarious as it was dark, one about a truly desperate housewife.
		However, Weeds forsakes pulpiness and florid drama for biting yet affectionate humor--its heroine is a woman with sliding morals, but one you'll root for to the very end.
		This may be purely imaginitive on my part, maybe even paranoid, but it is hard to imagine how in such a generally repressive legal environment, where the federal police persist in their quest to destroy the marijuana-smoking elements in our society, these people can exist with impunity.

	Weeds (Showtime) - Reviews from Metacritic
		Happily, "Weeds" hasn't dropped a petal or missed even a beat this season.
		This is damn fertile soil for a comedy, and creator Jenji Kohan and the writers of "Weeds" farm it for all it's worth in the show's second season, cultivating vivid, surprising stories that naturally transcend the typical limitations of the half-hour format.
		“Weeds” is still an outstanding show, but it would be better if it didn’t push so hard to stand out.

	A Review Of The TV Series, Weeds
		Nearly every television series of this decade has been unoriginal and uninteresting.
		The pay cable networks sometimes are an oasis in this desert of mind-numbing stale trash, but the Showtime series, Weeds, is just another stretch of dry land without a drop of water.
		I realize Weeds probably isn't about an accurate representation of pothead culture; but if that's not the point of the show, than it's nothing but an inferior rip-off of Desperate Housewives--which is an original and interesting show.
