Description
America's favorite pot-dealing soccer mom is more addictive than ever in the third season of WEEDS, the highly acclaimed Showtime(r) Original Series. Emmy (r) and Golden Globe(r) winner MARY-LOUISE PARKER stars as Nancy Botwin, a single mom who resorts to dealing pot after her husband dies suddenly. But when an off beat way to make ends meet grows into a mini-empire, the mother of all dealers finds she may be in over her head - and on the verge of taking everyone else with her. Hilarious and subversive, WEEDS is the hit that put the herb in suburb.

Weeds: Season Three continues the dark line of comedy that emerged in the previous season for this Showtime series. The story picks up exactly where it left off, with Nancy Botwin (Mary-Louise Parker) faced with a half-dozen guns pointing at her in her own kitchen, while an Armenian gang and Nancy's buyer, U-Turn (Page Kennedy), both demand she turn over her entire stash of marijuana (worth several hundred thousand dollars). Problem is, the pot is in the trunk of on-again, off-again friend Celia (Elizabeth Perkins), whose car has been stolen by Nancy's oldest son, Silas (Hunter Parrish). Silas wants in on mom's business, but his timing couldn't be worse as Celia and a police officer show up to reclaim the car while Nancy is still at gunpoint. The fallout from all this is that Nancy ends up working for U-Turn to repay her debt to him, a dangerous relationship that sends Nancy down a rabbit hole of underworld threats and violence. Meanwhile, Celia gets booted out of her home by her husband and becomes estranged from her young daughter, Isabelle (Allie Grant), who insists she's a lesbian. Celia rebounds a bit when a corrupt developer (Matthew Modine) gives her a house in exchange for her support on city council for one of his schemes. That goes wrong, too, when Celia allows Nancy, Doug (Kevin Nealon), and Conrad (Romany Malco), all of whom go into business after U-Turn stops being a problem, to put their endangered trove of marijuana plants in her house. Nancy's other son, Shane (Alexander Gould), claims he can see and talk to the ghost of Nancy's late husband, and Nancy's brother-in-law Andy (Justin Kirk) goes AWOL from the U.S. Army after his comrade is deliberately killed in an experimental missile test. As always, it's one thing after another on Weeds, and the blend of humor and suspense is uniquely compelling. Parker and the rest of the cast pull off some pretty surreal situations with great credibility. The show's lead star, particularly, can carry moments of blended terror and comedy: one of the season's most memorable moments finds Nancy forced to put on a sexy dance for a group of drug dealers in order to pick up a package U-Turn requires. The scene is humiliating, frightening, sexy, and comical all at once. Few actresses could have pulled it off, but Parker does. --Tom Keogh

 RIPOFF October 9, 2008
This is the first time that I have ever been ripped off through a customer of Amazon.com. Never received my item & e-mails have never been returned to me of the whereabouts of that item. Never received shipping confirmation. After reading other reviews, I guess I'm not alone. That's a real shame that so many people can be screwed like this by a customer of Amazon.com. I would've thought that something would have been done by now.
Your all too kind---- October 3, 2008
People seem to think it wasnt until Season Three that Weeds went downhill. For me it started to occur about halfway through Season One and became startlingly clear in Season Two probably about the time in which an 11 year old child is taken to a rub & tug parlour by an 'adult' sibling and soon begins habitually masturbating with banana peels. The sexualization of children on television is O.K. now is it? Very interesting. Weeds is no more than repugnant characters in their self absorbed misadventures, displaying every negative motive and behaviour one could conceive all within the laughable dramatization of the drug trade offered by writers whos research most probably consisted of reading a couple of issues of High Times magazine. It is contrived, base and lacks any depth, paper thin storytelling bouyed by sexuality aimed at the morose & crass humour aimed possibly at the lobotomized. The reality stretch is not so much a problem, more that it struggles to even make sense in the realm of how human beings would think or behave. I managed to watch all three series out of sheer fascination...I mean, how much lower can television sink? Created by talentless juvenile perverts, Weeds is....well I guess you get the picture. Laughably they have the audacity to offer social critiques within this rich tapestry of bile, the type of which only further solidify their shallow mentality.
 Weeds, 3rd season September 28, 2008
This was called NEW, and in the wrapper when we received it. It did however have a missing episode in it, which was a disappointment.
 Great show September 21, 2008
Excelent show I can't wait until Season 4 comes out. Watch it and love it.
Weeds - Season 3 September 20, 2008
I bought this for my daughter, her favorite show. She has enjoyed this show and I feel it is worth the money.
