Watch Weeds Online
There are many American comedy-dramas on television today but one that has become particularly popular is Weeds, a Showtime show made by Lionsgate television and created by Jenji Kohan.
The plot of Weeds mainly involves a housewife who has been widowed and thus must find a way to make money. She lives in an affluent California suburb and basically becomes the neighborhood drug dealer selling marijuana in order to earn her income.
The TV series name, Weeds, seems to refer both to the plant that the protagonist sells (marijuana) as well as widow's weeds which is what one would wear when one's husband dies and becomes a widow. Additionally, it may refer to American suburbs which grow quickly like weeds and contain many people who are indistinguishable; just like weeds.
The theme for the series which begins at the opening of each show is "Little Boxes", a song that stresses the sameness of suburban life and is a very nice song to be used for this series that involves that aspect of suburban culture.
Weeds currently has five seasons and began to play in 2005. It was the highest rated series for Showtime in its first year and has been considered a definite success for the channel. On average, the season has attracted 962,000 viewers.
The Season 5 premier brought in 1.2 million viewers with an additional 500,000 viewers for the rerun later that night bringing the total viewership to 1.7 million. Not bad for the Showtime channel.
The show's exterior shots and many other shots are taken in places in California like Calabasa and Santa Clarita Valley.
The main characters involve Nancy Botwin who is the protagonist of the show. She is your basic all-American soccer mom who lives the suburban lifestyle until she loses her husband and must enter the marijuana trade to make a living. Her customer base involves many people like her suburban friends, lawyer, accountant and more but eventually she is led to new challenges when she tries to expand her customer base.
Celia is Nancy's best enemy and friend. She is in a marriage that is particularly unhappy which may explain why she is so attracted to various vices like alcohol and trying to take others down in order to "teach them a lesson". However, her friend/enemy status is interesting in contrast to Nancy.
Season 1 starts off with Nancy's husband dying suddenly while he is out jogging thus leaving Nancy alone and in search of a trade to keep her suburban lifestyle afloat. This leads her to the marijuana trade.
Both of Nancy's children attend public school but for Nancy to live and keep going on in her upper middle class lifestyle, she has to make ends meet and this involves her entrance to the marijuana market when she begins to sell to her friends and neighbors.
At one point, some of Nancy's customers begin to go to the medical marijuana shop because its quality is much higher than the quality of Nancy's marijuana. For this reason, Nancy is forced to make baked goods using her cooking skills to find a new way to sell her inferior quality weed. She does a good job of this and covers up her sales by actually making her own bakery and putting Costco's products on her shelves as her own.
Weeds is a very good television program that has been doing quite well for some time now. If the characters and plot seem interesting to you, it would be worth checking out on the Showtime network. You may also view clips and other videos from the show online if you search around a bit for the "Weeds" television title. - 23806
