Weeds
2005
Suburban widow Nancy Botwin (Golden Globe winner Mary-Louise Parker) launches a profitable but unlikely business venture as pot dealer in the first season of this hit Showtime series about the challenges of managing motherhood -- and marijuana. Desperate times force Nancy into desperate dealings with dangerous characters, which raises the suspicions of a self-involved neighbor (Elizabeth Perkins, in an Emmy-nominated role) and the DEA.

Weeds begins strongly enough, but gets old around season five. Justin Kirk as Uncle Andy is the real star of the series. A dark and scathing critique of suburban life, this show is great fun for a little while until it gets a bit too ridiculous.
Somewhat amusing, though not as consistently funny as Californication or Dead Like Me.
