Editorial Review: After the death of her husband, a suburban mom becomes a pot dealer and must juggle her business with parental and social obligations.
Pretty good season, just not as good as the previous ones 4 out of 5
Weeds is one of the best written shows on television, and Season 5 held up its own for the most part. Season 5, pretty much a continuation of Season 4's setting and storyline, slowed down in terms of action, but spent a good deal more time exploring the depth of characters, especially Shane Botwin (Nancy's youngest).
If Seasons 1 through 4 are grade A, Season 5 is a B+.
Some of the criticism of this season has been a bit harsh in my opinion, as I think these critics were expecting a lot of the same high-intensity moments they were accustomed to, but with deeper character development, and slowing down the story, those kinds of moments were fewer and further between. (I hear this is going to be "corrected" in Season 6.)
One criticism that I think is especially unfair is the disappointment that some characters are left dangling doing silly things. The reality is that everyone was participating in interrelated story threads, and everything tied together pretty well.
What gives this season a B+ instead of a B is that the ending of the last episode was the best ever for Weeds. Total shocker. Killer (Kill-her).
Also, what's not to like about the cutest baby seen on television, Stevie Ray Botwin. Awwwww. :) (they skip ahead six months so Nancy can have Esteban's baby -- can't have too much action when the lead character is preggers, so this was easily forgiven)
More and more absurd! 4 out of 5
The more you get into WEEDS the more it gets absurd. After seeing season 1 to 4, you definitly have to indulge in season five. Not as great as the other seasons but definitly worth it. Enjoy!
LUV IT 5 out of 5
I can't get enough of Weeds.... Even though as the seasons pass it has less and less to what the titles suggests, the writers still manage to keep it interesting and a fun series to watch.
I can't wait for Season 6
not as good as the first season, but i do still watch and like it, just not love it anymore....sorry weeds 4 out of 5
I wish they still had the magic of when the show first came on the cable tv programming channel, Showtime. It is good, but some of the scenerios are a lot of weird. I cant even follow the story at points. If you are just starting to watch this show, you might want to start off with the first season, otherwise you might not know what the heck is going on in the town of Agrestic (that's the city name)
the kids start selling weed and i dont like that! BOO
Nothing you haven't already heard. 5 out of 5
Weeds continues to be one of the best shows on televisions, Season 5 included. I won't go into great detail, but if you liked any of the previous seasons, you'll enjoy this one. It ends with another amazing cliff-hanger that makes me VERY impatient for Season 6 to come out.
