The first season of Weeds ended with a shocker: Nancy (Mary-Louise Parker) found a dreamy new boyfriend, but he turned out to be a DEA agent (Martin Donovan). Luckily, she manages to find some pretty creative ways to "deal" with it. Despite that new obstacle, she decides it's also time to "grow" the business to higher levels, and all these risky moves lead up to another fabulous season finale cliff-hanger. Elsewhere in suburban utopia, comic relieving brother-in-law Andy (Justin Kirk) tries to dodge his army commitments by joining Rabbi school, while the hilarious Doug (Kevin Nealon) battles it out with Celia (Elizabeth Perkins) to maintain power over the Agrestic City Council. Plot aside, Season 2 of Weeds took this potentially great show to the next level. No matter how hard they tried in the first season, the show's makers had a heck of a time trying to shake the impression that they were mimicking the edginess of HBO's original programming. (Some might have gone as far as to say they were trying a little too hard.) This time around, the characters and the story have grown into their own skins, and they offer something much more authentic and convincing. The second season also starts a great new tradition: Malvina Reynolds `s "Little Boxes" is still the opening theme song, but it is performed by a different artist for each episode (from Elvis Costello to The Shins). Just one more thing to keep us "addicted." --Jordan Thompson

 Even Better Than Season One November 4, 2008
Pat Shand (Freeport, NY USA)
I could resort to an "addicted" pun or throw in some sly jokes about dealing out as much laughs as Nancy does weed, etcetera, etcetera. But when it comes down to this, the best way to talk about the second season of Weeds isn't marijuana puns, it's the simple truth. This is a strong season of what was already a damn good show. The writers pretty much took everything that worked about the first season and made it better. They took risks, which in itself is a special thing in television, and each of those risks paid off in the end.
The status quo of the show changes, because Nancy graduates from small time dealer to a big wig grower/supplier, which leads to tension between her and... well, pretty much everyone. The show manages to keep a healthy balance of drama and comedy while juggling the many on-going arcs of the series. Each short episode in this collection is so textured and so crammed full of little moments of greatness that the season could probably be watched in one season.
I said it about the first season, and I'll say it again here. From the acting, to the music (different artist performing the theme song each time now), to the direction, to the writing, this is a seamless show that is among the best series currently airing.
9/10
A great show October 15, 2008
Brian R. Huber (Wilmington, NC- USA)
This is a great show. It's primarily a comedy, but has great drama and some occassional action threaded in. I Have the first 2 seasons now and have watched both twice. Laughed my head off. As I will when i watch it again!
Has great writing and acting. Buy it! It's cheap for a series and excellent replay value!
 Weeds! September 30, 2008
Azucena Salazar (Los Angeles, Ca)
Must have! I guarantee you won't get tired of watching it over and over again!
 Quality show September 22, 2008
James Burns
Three stars because this season didn't live up to some of the hype I read about. Some of the plot points seemed a bit implausible. Still a good show at a great price, much better than Californication.
And they all look just the same..... September 11, 2008
Theresa W (mi, usa)
Showtime has found another runaway HIT! Weeds is a breath of fresh air in cable TV that is filled with hour long intense drama's. While Weeds has it's share of drama, it is the infusion of comedy that gives this show and it's characters life. And at only a 1/2 hour per episode it's a quick enjoyable watch.
Season 2 picks up the pace and doesn't stop till the end, at which point you'll be hurredly going out to get season 3! More characters are brought on to broaden the stories, and it seems that no one is what they seem. They all bring along trouble and baggage, making Nancy's life interesting to say the least!!
If you haven't watched this show and you enjoy comedy, I guarentee you'll fall in love with WEEDS.
