Movie Reviews of Weeds: Season Three
Movie Review: Weeds Continues to Grow
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm disappointed to see many negative reviews of the 3rd Season. I got mine from Amazon last week and have already watched the whole season and it was great! I was nervous going in because I had heard from various people that season three wasn't as good, but after I got watching I was not at all sure what the fuss was about, the show is pushing itself and growing in new directions like it needs to if it's going to survive. The show challenges you to think about "drugs," what's right and wrong, and examines the inter-workings of suburbia with such cleverness that I am always pleasantly surprised.
Nancy Botwin is the perfect character, you love her, but sometimes want to slap her. Parker is an amazing actress and makes this show work from beginning to end. I also love her youngest Shane, he's excellent this season and glad to see him getting more and more airtime. This show is both funny and heartbreaking and blows most shows on TV right now out of the water.
I'm really excited to see how season 4 plays out. I think it's a great sign that they are breaking out of the "little boxes."
Don't listen to the negative reviews. If you liked season 1 and 2 you will love season 3!
Movie Review: Shining Star in a Dark Night of Boring TV
Summary: 5 Stars
I see a lot of people did not care for season 3 of Weeds. While I did get the sense that, Nancy will never win and got frustrated at her life/circumstances (won't give anything away)...I still really enjoyed this season and am ready to watch Season 4!
I thought this season showed us a new side of many characters, Celia, Silas, Shane, Andy and Dean. I liked how the cliff hanger from season 2 was dealt with. And in each half hour there was enough drama that at the end of each show you were ready to watch the next one to see what was going to happen.
My only complaint with Weeds is that the plot seems to be repeating with regards to Nancy and nearly getting caught selling, then her being in debt to someone etc. I've finished season 4, and that's what has made me a little dismayed at the fact that it does seem to be the same formula over & over...but I'm waiting till Season 5 to make up my mind on that.
Again, I think Showtime has hit paydirt with an original, fun show. The half hour format is what does it for me, something quick to pop in and sit back and relax to. Even more, the cast and crew makes this show a shining star in a dark night of boring TV.

Weeds - Season Three
What could be more American than Mom, apple pie, and weed in the grow house?! I started watching this gem of a show because of Mary Louise-Parker. I've continued watching because of the fine ensemble acting, stellar writing, and general shock and awe fun of it all. What more can happen to 'Lacy LaPlante'? If ever there was a living, breathing example of Murphy's Law in action, it is Weeds.
Season One, episode one got me hooked....um....addicted....um....made me a fan. Season Two just strengthened my addiction....my love/hate affair with Agresstic and all the characters who stream on and off camera. Season Three got me fired up and anxiously awaiting the buzz of season four.
Whether or not you have ever been in that life or known anyone in that life or even like people in that life, the superb direction, the phenomenal scripts, and the amazing cast make this a character study for even the most straight-laced right-wingers. The look gets better, the stories get better, and if season three is any indication of where this is going, I plan to be onboard.
Movie Review: Hilarious
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm amazed at all the negative reviews given for Season 3 of this brilliant, addictive funny show. When I bought the first series of Weeds, it took me a few episodes to really get into it, after which I was totally hooked. Season 2 was equally brilliant and season three certainly didn't disappoint. All the characters have fully expanded into the extreme of their type - which is exactly what I would expect of an entertaining show. This is not reality - this is an extremely funny parody of stereotype characters. For viewers to suddenly get moralistic about various aspects of the comedy, such as not showing religious fundamentalists in their positive light, completely misses the point. I, for one, am very grateful that the writers have not degenerated into the mire of political correctness that has completely ruined many a good comedy in the past. (Not to mention life in general)
Some of the scenes in Season three had me laughing to the point of tears. Couldn't stop myself watching the whole thing in two nights. Love the quirky music. Roll on Sesaon 4!!
Movie Review: a non-stop laugh riot for season 3
Summary: 5 Stars
season 3 of weeds flowed seamless and flawlessly when i put it in the dvd player. i am glad nancy survived the drug deal that when south because of silas. celia hodes really did shine during this season, her relationship with the smarmy snake sullivan groff was great. i was glad when U-turn met his demise at the hands of marvin, then freeing nancy from her debt. i am glad the writers brought agent fundis back, and captain till found out about his illegal activities with the deceased agent scottson. after that was settled, the agrestic/majestic merger came about and doug wilson getting his revenge was classic. i am glad jenji kohan and her excellent team of writers brought guerillmo diaz into the picture. having nancy do the brick dance was hilarious. i play the episode brickdance over and over again. i was surprized to see agrestic/majestic burn to the ground, but nancy has to start a fresh.
i personally really don't care what the naysayers and the crybabies say about season 3, i am loyal to the end, and i can't wait for season 4 to come out on dvd.
