Suburban life portrayed to the extremes in this hilarious but poignant comedy

Mary Louise Parker plays a widowed suburban housewife forced to create new ways to generate enough income to support the lifestyle she and her family had become accustomed before her husband departed. Parker and Elizabeth Perkins are excellent representations of housewives dealing with serious problems in this unrealistic yet frighteningly realistic comedy about living in the suburbs. Unrealistic because it is doubtful that this scenario could actually take place but realistic because the actors portray real suburban characters that you might meet anywhere in the US. The PTA scenes are a scream to any mom that has attended these mundane meetings. Kevin Nealon is great as the always high accountant looking to score and Justin Kirk accurately plays Parkers outrageously screwed up brother-in-law that can’t seem to stay out of trouble. Even though this is a comedy, it also examines important aspects of suburban life. Drug abuse, race relations, cancer, homosexuality, mortality and morality are all explored in a real life yet unreal setting. It kind of makes you think while you are laughing at the superb dialog.

Toxic Nancy Botwin

Have watched this in entirety a number of times over the years. The most recent watch seemed to have lost its charm that I once held for it. It’s entertaining, don’t get me wrong. It’s a bit of deliberate roller coaster of story.

***SPOILER ALERT***

Nancy Botwin (Mary-Louise Parker) becomes increasingly toxic, narcissistic & entitled throughout the series which gets a bit tiring by its conclusion. It’s no wonder her sons are messed up.

Uncle Andy is the one of the few redeeming characters as a loveable goofball. Unfortunately he simps after Nancy who uses his affection for her to keep him around.

Love The Show, Hate Nancy

The show was well written and well cast – EXCEPT for Nancy. A terrible mother and a worse person – but somehow makes her way as the protagonist.

Started fresh if not realistic. Now it’s just absurd

Weeds has always been full of hyperbole and social commentary via satire. It wasn’t always all that insightful but it was clever and cute at the least. Unfortunately it’s disdain, detachment from reality and holier than thou attitude often show through the wit. From it’s grindingly unaware and sanctimonious title song, to it’s hypocrite self centered characters…once the cute wears off, it’s hard to give a crap about anything deeper because the surface is so tarnished.

The ridiculous story lines not only do nothing for the point trying to be made, the absurd unbelievable plots treat the viewer like an idiot :

Don’t like anti-drug laws….so the proponent of said laws is a barely functioning alcoholic whose entire life is a train wreck. How clever. Alcohol is worse than Marijuana…we get it.

The “War on Terror” sucks…. so the army randomly kills recruits with drone planes apparently driven by Gomer Pyle. To cover up they send in evil teams of black Ops LAWYERS to strong arm witnesses with magic toys that make the most ludicrous James Bond toy look like a calculator watch. I wish I was kidding. If I had to be fair, this is the scene that broke weeds for me. I forgave it’s heavy handed idiocy and overlooked it’s characters flaws and unrealistic reactions because to be honest…it was funny a lot of the time. I think I would have been much happier to watch them just flat out say “The war on terror is ridiculous, and we have lost respect and trust for the Armed Forces.” Thats totally fine…I agree 110%. But a scene that makes Get Smart look realistic and hides behind weak attempts at humor? Cmon…what a joke.

To top it off, the writers are often too afraid to make the protagonists react in realistic ways for fear of alienating weak minded viewers. Nancy can yell at her bumbling drug addict brother in law, but when her self centered prick of a son nearly gets her killed and essentially forces her into servitude with the local drug dealer by stealing her drugs…she never mentions it. In fact no one even addresses it.

I want to like the show. Heck a lot of times I do. Mary Lousie Parker is droll and kissably cute…not to mention incredibly versatile in her role. The soundtrack is often pointed and sharp, which is in stark contrast to the ham fisted finger wagging of the actual show. Sadly, 9 times out of 10, I share Weeds outlook on the topics they address. However, the childish and unrealistic way they address them often makes me wish I didn’t for fear of association with halfwits.

In the end it’s just hard to tolerate preaching from a show so flawed.

Cheers to hypocrisy!

For years Weeds is being the “everybody-talks-about” series but I never had the opportunity to watch it. But finally I did it, and I did it desperately because the show is addictive. So finally I could understand why it got so much attention.

First of all, the cast is amazing. Mary-Luise Parker, as Nancy Botwin, fits so well in her character and she is so charismatic and so beautiful and so subtle, gentle, comprehensive and polite that it’s almost impossible dislike her. Elizabeth Perkins, as Celia Hodes, my god, that woman rocks! She’s so naturally dried by the unhappy life she has built that even a spontaneous smile seems like a rock. I can’t believe that Elizabeth Perkins never won an award for this character until now because every moment is an outstanding performance and I mean it! It’s a shame that her character lost so much of her potentials to a point of being kicked out of the show because Celia was one of the gears of the show.

The most interesting things about the show were not the drugs, neither was Nancy living a hell each new day, nor the mistakes each character does during the episodes, but yes the social matters that it pointed. I’m Brazilian and I live in a small suburban city like the imaginary Agrestic/Magestic, so… I know a lot how is to survive in a place where you’re surrounded by ignorant people that are moved just by an inexistent appearance. It’s so revolting to a point that sometimes you just want to do things just to provoke them and play with their abstraction of reality, and the series shows it in a very intelligent and interesting way so you feel connected by it.

But now, after 6 years and some changes, Weeds seems to have lost most of what made it so interesting during the years becoming just another dramedy and Weeds is now just all about a woman dealing with an everyday drama that doesn’t fit anymore. While the first 4 seasons were amazing and subtle in its subject, the last 2 seasons lack of the cleverness that once existed. Weeds now is being pushed to something we don’t know anymore and it’s showing signs of tiredness and completely losing its identity and also its characters. But that happens with every kind of show sooner or later.

But anyway… if you have the opportunity to watch at least the first 4 seasons, do it. Weeds is not about dealing with drugs, but a way to express the hypocrisy of each single person in the world.

I give 8 just for the show in a whole, but the first 4 seasons deserve 10.

Storyline

Creator/showrunner Jenji Kohan’s hit Showtime satirical dramedy series told of Nancy Botwin (Mary-Louise Parker), a widowed mother of two boys – Silas (Hunter Parish) and Shane (Alexander Gould) – who begins selling marijuana to support her family in Agrestic, Southern California.

During the fifth season, Nancy has a third child-Stevie (Mateus Ward and replaced by Ethan and Gavin Ken in season 8)-with Esteban Reyes (Demián Bichir), the mayor of Tijuana, Mexico and leader of a drug cartel. Over the course of the show, the Botwin family become increasingly entangled in illegal activity.—Eli Allen and Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quotes
- Andy Botwin: [to Shane about masturbation] Alright, listen closely. I’m not going to beat around the bush. Ha ha ha. Your little body’s changing – it’s all good, believe me. Problem now is… every time we jerk the gerkin, we get a lot of unwanted sticky white stuff everywhere, right? Right. So… First order of business – no more socks. They’re expensive, gumming up the works plumming-wise. Now you might be thinking to yourself, “But, Uncle Andy, what do I do with all that pearl jam if I can’t spew it into Mr. Sock?” Glad you asked… You can have a lovely time tugging the tiger in the shower each morning – that eliminates the need for a goo glove. But, the day is long, masturbation’s fun, so unless we want to take 4 or 5 showers every day, we’re gonna need some other options. So let’s start with the basics. Tissues. Perfectly acceptable backstop for all that Creamy Italian. They can be rough and dry on such soft, sensitive skin and it can stick to your dick head like a fuckin’ band-aid – ouch. From there we move on to more lubricated flack-catchers – specificially, bananas. Step one: Peel the banana. Step two: Slip the peel over your Randy Johnson and start pitching. Now for extra credit, warm up the peel in the microwave. Not too hot! Serious yowza. Also, olive oil, moisturizer, honey, spit, butter, hair conditioner, and Vaseline can all be used for lube. In my opinion, the best lube… is lube. So save your allowance and invest in some soon. Alright, moving on – when you tug your Thomas on the toilet – ffft – shoot right into the bowl. In bed – soft t-shirt, perhaps a downy hand towel of your very own that you don’t mind tossing after tossing. There’s no such thing as polishing the raised scepter of love too much. It reduces stress, it enhances immune function. Also, practice makes perfect. So work on your control now, while you’re a solo artist – you’ll be playing some long, happy duets in the future. Ok – class dismissed.
