Average Customer Ratings:
Funnier, darker and more daring, the second season of this acclaimed Showtime series reaches a higher ground. Golden Globe winner Mary-Louise Parker stars as Nancy Botwin, the soccer mom who had to learn how to deal - pot, that is - after the death of her husband. Now, her business is a hit. But keeping up with the neighbors in this suburban utopia isn't easy. She's joined up with a few of her closest friends, and together they're facing life's highs and lows - because even in paradise, nobody's perfect. Don't miss WEEDS, an addictive comedy, the highest grade TV has to offer.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Nancy is not a good person - 
It's amazing, I guess the writers figured by episode 8 that the Peter Scottson character was too like-able and elicited too much sympathy that the writers intentionally wrote him in to be a racist and vindictive on the fly. It wasn't cool and didn't flow well. I supposed they miscast him with Martin Donovan from the start, an inherently like-able actor. It was about episode 8 that I wanted something very bad to happen to Nancy and her entire sanctimonious and whiny family. None of them are good people and they seem less interesting because of it.

Terrific second season -
The conceit of "Weeds" (suburban mom turns to selling pot) seems like it would be difficult to sustain over time. Fortunately, the second season of "Weeds" pulls it off successfully by being funny but also keeping to the original theme. As the season opens, Nancy decides to end her relationship with Peter when she discovers that he is a DEA agent; he seems oblivious to the fact that she's a drug dealer, but this relationship will continue to haunt her throughout the season. Another character, Celia, undergoes a transformation after she has a minor car accident and decides to run for city council to unseat the pot-smoking Doug. The other major plot involves Nancy and Conrad going into business together.
Season 2 of "Weeds" is as good as season 1, with the addition of more scares for Nancy. It turns out that selling drugs in the suburbs isn't as safe or clean as she envisioned. These changes help make the series more believable; however, the show starts to go slightly off the rails toward the end of the season, as more and more forces press on Nancy. The season ends in an exciting cliffhanger, which is funny although out of character for the series.
On the down side, the most annoying character, Nancy's brother-in-law Andy, continues to get too much screen time, including an annoying draft-dodging subplot. I'm sure his pot-fueled irresponsibility appeals to some viewers, but I find him irritating and unfunny. Fortunately, some of the more enjoyable characters (e.g., Conrad and Heylia) get some nice new twists, which helps balance out the season. Overall, "Weeds" continues to be a funny, addictive series; looking forward to catching up with season 3 on DVD.
Best Season So Far! -
This season is the best so far and near perfect! It has all the elements of a good dramedy - crazy situations, romance, out and out comedy and a really interesting story. The most intriguing is the budding romance between Nancy and Conrad while the one with her DEA agent boyfriend steadily falls apart. It becomes pretty apparent he isn't a nice guy but Conrad is. Cecila becomes a city councilwoman and Doug hates her and has sex with her. Isabelle becomes a clothes model for Huskaroo and Nancy's boys become more involved in the drug business. The story line is rich in other ways too. So far this season is the best but the 4th season isn't too shabby either. Near perfect show.
Even Better Than Season One -
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.
