Widowed suburbanite Nancy Botwin (Mary-Louise Parker) starts growing and selling marijuana to make enough money to support her family after her husband's unexpected death leaves her in big debt. Nancy has associates in her pot-growing business, which include Andy, who is her brother-in-law, and pot-smoking City Councilman Doug Wilson. Then there's the business of trying to keep the whole thing secret from people like her neighbor Celia.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Weeds remains engaging with bursts of heart and wit, but loses narrative momentum as Nancy Botwin's motivations become increasingly obtuse.

Emily St. James AV Club If there's one thing that keeps me coming back to Weeds, though, it's the performances. Rated: B Sep 13, 2013 Full Review Daniel Fienberg HitFix By the third episode, though, Weeds seems to be finding its footing. Sep 13, 2013 Full Review Paige Wiser Chicago Sun-Times It's the funniest thing you'll see all summer - particularly if you're drug-free. Sep 13, 2013 Full Review Matt Paproth PopMatters This season feels unfocused for a variety of reasons, and it is the last featuring Elizabeth Perkins as Celia Hodes, one of the original cast/characters who had, by that point, been increasingly irrelevant. Nov 19, 2018 Full Review Kevin Carr 7M Pictures I've never gotten wrapped up in the fascination with stoner movies and shows, but Weeds is a lot more than that. Rated: 3/5 Nov 19, 2018 Full Review Tom Gliatto People Magazine What began as a clever but pat satire about a pot-dealing suburban mom is now closer to a Pedro Almodóvar movie: a delirious, always-surprising soap opera about a woman on the verge of a breakdown, jail time, assassination and motherhood.

Kasso M I grew bored with several plot lines, but there were still a few hysterical moments and occasionally compelling drama. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Worst mom ever. She just watches how she screws up her kids. Getting ores by the season. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member This show is straight garbage. The plot is poor and unrealistic. There is also a lack of contrast among characters. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member The writing is still top-notch, but the characters are growing a little bit stale, and the actors are getting bored. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review dylan w Better than 4 but not much better than 3. It's still tumbling down the hill and I'm waiting for it to get back on track. And too bad this is the last season to have Celia, she was such a funny character. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
