Onko ruoho todella vihreämpää aidan toisella puolella? Kyllä, ja se myös tuoksuu paremmalta! Nancy Botwin asuu perheineen varakkaalla esikaupunkialueella Kaliforniassa. Kaikki näyttää olevan hyvin, kunnes Nancyn miehen äkillinen kuolema rikkoo perheen onnen ja rahapula uhkaa iskeä vasten yksinhuoltajan kasvoja. Nancy päättää tehdä kaikkensa pitääkseen lapsensa ja itsensä hienostoalueella: hän ryhtyy naapuruston huumediileriksi. Tämän rajoja rikkovan, kummouksellisen, satriirisen ja hullunhauskan hittisarjan ensimmäinen kausi kutkuttaa taatusti nauruhermoja. (Universal Pictures Fin.)

Weeds embodies all the traits of American modern and dynamic production - an attractive theme, interesting characters, and plenty of twists, presented in a way that even the far-fetched moments are digestible. However, what interests me is which America is closer to reality. Is it the one depicted in Weeds, full of drug dealers, promiscuity, and hypocrisy, or the one shocked by the infidelity of Tiger Woods or Sandra Bullock's husband, who chooses the most conservative moralists in the political arena? The series depicts the adventures of a middle-class woman whose husband unexpectedly dies and, determined not to allow her family's standard of living to decline, begins dealing marijuana, gradually revealing to her the world of drug dealers, growers, and users. Through her, the viewer also gets a glimpse into the life of a small-town community, where beneath the shiny facade of elegant villas, marital conflicts unfold, and children grow up who are far from scout ideals. The series is characterized by subtle irony and carefully measured cynicism, which prevents the characters from turning into grotesque monstrosities like in Californication. Overall impression: 75%.

Nancy Botwin, queen of the suburbs. You can trip her up a hundred times, but she won't give up and will jump right back into everything. In this illegal kingdom, thanks to Doug and Andy, I don't stop laughing and, surprisingly, satirical social dramas show me naturally that even though life is sometimes worth nothing, it's still worth picking yourself up and moving on.

I’d been missing the poetics of Sho.com. In retrospect, it is no longer necessary to follow the provocative theme as the main motif of the series; what remains today, twelve years later, is a well-written series that plays out in a sympathetic half-hour format the story of a suburb not so different from the place where each of us lives. Weeds is, after all, the story of a young widow looking for a way to live her life. And that's more than enough. Each series has a nice cliffhanger. So for now, after three seasons, that's good enough. Let's see if I can find time for the remaining five. It's starting to look like slapstick in places.
