Movie Reviews of Weeds - Season Three
Movie Review: A Big Letdown from the Season 2 Finale
Summary: 2 Stars
I'm assuming anyone reading this already has a grasp on what the series is about and the basic characters around this. To recap, the show surrounds the life of Nancy Botwin and her attempts to acquire enough money to keep up with her rich lifestyle. Her occupation: pot dealer. Naturally Season's 1 and 2 capitalized on the obvious plotline here which is how to get a business going, keeping the secret from the right people, and still being a Mom at the same time.
One would think that Season's 2 finale gave them plenty to work with. Nancy is caught up in a Mexican Standoff with drug dealers on a deal going poorly because Cilas stole the pot she was about to sell. To make things worse, Cilas is on the verge of getting busted by Ceila and the cops for possession of the motherload of all pot, while Shane is with some crazy loon on a trip to Mexico.
I won't go into too many specific details of the series, because doing so would ruin the cliffhanger that those who don't have showtime haven't seen. But the biggest complaint is that the character storylines are completely changed and abandoned throughout the season. You see Andy for instance have a brief run-in with the army again and try out a porn career none of which has anything to do with Nancy or her secret. Shane's purpose in the series, along with Ashley Olsen, who is seen in 3 episodes for 10 minutes each (tops) seem largely irrelevant to everything. Perhaps my biggest problem with this season is that the series might have jumped the shark. Nancy's secret for (while keeping details out to the greatest extent possible) becomes "too public;" too many people know she deals and grows, so the tension that existed in Season's 1 or 2 completely dissipates.
With all this said, there are some highlights are Season 3. Doug Wilson and the drug dealers Nancy encounter are hilarious and definitely provide some good comic relief. And the new town Majestic, an even richer and "better" Agrestic (and more Christian) provides some good ridicule of the ultra-religious right (even though it does get a little repetative). Even Andy's various storylines, if pointless, do make great comedy.
All-in-all, Weeds is still funny but the the episodes and characters in them lack any sort of direction or unity, which significantly hampers its enjoyability. Weeds this season seems more like a cartoon comedy like Family Guy; Weeds wants to have a new funny skit to put on each episode, but keeps running into the problem that it must continue from past episodes, and keep a story going.
