5.0 out of 5 stars Yet Another High Quality Season, September 1, 2009
By 
sec127 (Getzville, New York United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Weeds: Season Five (DVD)
Showtime's series Weeds is one of the best shows on television. Each season is consistently strong- with engaging, inventive stories, complex charecters and wonderful dark comedy. Mary-Louise Parker is absolutely phenomenal as Nancy Botwin, one of the most complex and uncompromising charecters to ever appear on television. Parker is backed by an always reliable supporting cast who bring humor and heart to the at times, very dark proceedings. Weeds' Fifth Season is the slowest one but that does not mean it's bad. It is the most character driven season, we get to see the true colors of these charecters and what they really want, and at times, its not pretty. Nancy continues her downward spiral and drags her youngest son Shane down with her. Silas becomes the emotional center of this extremely dysfunctional family, and at 18 has become the real father figure. Andy strives to get out of Nancy's grasp and start his own life while Celia tries her hardest to be a different person and at times actually tries to BE Nancy. This season is all about coming to terms with the inevitable and face the consequences. There is plenty here to reward long time fans of the show and viewers interested in the psychological make-up of these crazy charecters. The season finale promises to set up more of the themes established in this season. I cant wait to see what happens next. Weeds is still my personal favorite show on TV, layered, funny, deep and always surprising.

This Season Five DVD set includes the episodes:
- Wonderful, Wonderful
- Machetes Up Top
- Su-Su-Sucio
- Super Lucky Happy
- Van Nuys
- A Modest Proposal
- Where the Sidewalk Ends
- A Distinctive Horn
- Suck 'n' Spit
- Perro Insano
- Ducks and Tigers
- Glue
- All About My Mom

This review is from: Weeds: Season Five (DVD)
I suggest if you like this show or have just discovered it buy the set of 1st 5 seasons. Well drawn characters, actors very appropriate for their roles. This show is pervertedly funny. Comedy equivalent to Seinfield. Good dvd's with no technical glitches.

3.0 out of 5 stars Where's the Weed? Not in this show..., September 1, 2009
This review is from: Weeds: Season Five (DVD)
Elizabeth Perkins (as Celia Hodes) is quickly taking over the lead role in Weeds while Mary-Louise Parker's Nancy character is becoming trite and quite frankly, annoying. You almost wish that Nancy Botwin would get killed off so that the show could drop all of the accumulated baggage of five seasons and start over fresh.

Season Five is the "Baby Season," where we watch Nancy Botwin struggle to have her new baby, support her family and keep herself alive all at the same time. Unfortunately the show quickly devolves into a generic drama that could be found on any number of network television stations. This season truly feels like the weed and drug trade are thrown in simply in order to keep the name of the show "Weeds," and I believe it was the drug dynamic that made this show as interesting as it was in the first place. While Nancy is off playing Mrs. Mexican Mafia, Silas and Doug partner up in order to attempt a legal Medicinal Marijuana storefront while Celia (after escaping from her daughter's kidnapping plot) attempts to capture the same success that Nancy had in seasons 1 and 2 by becoming the neighborhood "connection."

There are two bright spots in this season and they came out of left field for me: Shane and Dr. Audra Kitson (Alanis Morissette). Andy is still Andy - fantasizing about Nancy, hoping to replace Judah, but never quite living up to her expectations. He attempts to have a new relationship with Nancy's "on the side" ObGyn played remarkably well by Alanis Morissette. While you could pretty much cut and paste Andy's character from all the other seasons of Weeds, Morissette actually plays an interesting and quirky counterpart who attempts to make Andy "grow up" in order to have a real relationship with her.

Shane meanwhile, becomes broken. The poor kid has a busy season - he becomes a drug dealer, gets robbed by his teacher, befriends one of the Mexican thugs, gets a STD from his two "girlfriends," and gets shot. The last of the "pure" Botwins becomes truly corrupted and he relishes his new found freedom, unencumbered by morals. Without dropping any spoilers, lets just say that Shane is the cause of the cliffhanger at the end of Season Five (and no, he's not dying because he got shot).

The eye candy for this season for the women is brought to you by Silas and Esteban - unfortunately they don't add much more depth to their characters other than just sitting on the screen looking pretty. Doug and the Hodes play their normal comedic interludes, not bringing much to the storyline, but not really slowing it down either; pure, unadulterated filler.

All in all it was a pretty disappointing season. If you're a die hard Weeds fan you won't be very impressed by season five. If you're new to the Weeds show, watch seasons 1-3 instead. Cross your fingers that season six will redeem.
