Weeds was Showtime's longest and most successful running television show they've had on their network. Weeds first season aired in 2005 and it's 8th and final season aired in 2012.
*Spoiler Alert!*
Weeds is about a mother who lives with her two sons in the fictional town of Agrestic, California, Nancy Botwin. Judah Botwin, Nancy's husband dies of a heart attack before the show starts. Judah made a good deal of money, and the whole family was living in a very nice house, in an even nicer suburban neighborhood. After Judah's death, with no other options to support their affluent lifestyle, Nancy begins to sell marijuana.
I cannot tell you how much I love this show. Or why, even. I love the fact that this show is simply about a very flawed woman who does everything in her power to support and protect her two sons (and eventually 3.) A few episodes into the first season, Andy Botwin (Judah's brother) visits Nancy and the boys and stays with them for the rest of the show. The show is filled with Nancy's determination, drama, sex, comedy, and more that I just can't explain.
I find things in everything nowadays that remind me of Saba's determination and willpower in Blood Red Road. Nancy's determination to provide for her family, and be the best mother she can-under the circumstances- reminds me of Saba's to find her brother.
All eight seasons are currently available on DVD and Netflix! I recommend this show to anyone who loves a dramatic show that will make you laugh, cry, and think about your life! And although Weeds is one of my favorite shows on television, it still deals with topics such as drugs and sex, so be precautious!
Check out the clip from the show below! This clip takes place right after Nancy and her family go through just one of the MANY ordeals they endure during the show. Enjoy!
