Press Reviews

From EW.com: Weeds is a dozen times more creative than its opening credits. Suburban California mom Nancy Botwin (Mary-Louise Parker) is left with two kids to raise after her husband drops dead of a heart attack. Fairly skill-free, she discovers the only way to hold on to her McMansion, SUV, and maid is to sell pot. Between PTA meetings, she deals to the likes of soccer dad and local politician Doug (SNL's Kevin Nealon, playing it straight quite handily), who's also her wily accountant. The series -- which boasts directors like Burr Steers (Igby Goes Down) -- makes the most of this dichotomy.

From SFGate.com: The mark of a series that has staying power is great writing and superb casting, which "Weeds" is blessed with. Touring along Season 1, you can't help but expect an episode to implode, having opted for the easy joke or the big dramatic tilt. But "Weeds" pulled off a small miracle by maintaining its sublime cleverness and tone throughout, effortlessly shifting from the broader humor of [Kevin] Nealon's perpetually stoned (and viciously funny) Doug to the heart-wrenching impact losing a father has on Silas, back to Andy's slacker-stoned take on life and Celia's oppressive meanness and superficiality being undercut by her ability to be easily hurt (and, suffering as she did, from breast cancer).

What you see each week on "Weeds" is this audacious shift of tone from character to character, scene to scene, and yet it's done so effortlessly. It's one thing to play the urban sass of Heylia and Conrad off Agrestic's relentlessly white sensibilities as channeled through Nancy, the hippest of the white soccer moms. But it's quite another to send up preconceived notions with Conrad's geeky pot-growing sensibility and his sensitive-man take on life in the ghetto.
