Weeds: Season Three continues the dark line of comedy that emerged in the previous season for this Showtime series. The story picks up exactly where it left off, with Nancy Botwin (Mary-Louise Parker) faced with a half-dozen guns pointing at her in her own kitchen, while an Armenian gang and Nancy's buyer, U-Turn (Page Kennedy), both demand she turn over her entire stash of marijuana (worth several hundred thousand dollars). Problem is, the pot is in the trunk of on-again, off-again friend Celia (Elizabeth Perkins), whose car has been stolen by Nancy's oldest son, Silas (Hunter Parrish). Silas wants in on mom's business, but his timing couldn't be worse as Celia and a police officer show up to reclaim the car while Nancy is still at gunpoint. The fallout from all this is that Nancy ends up working for U-Turn to repay her debt to him, a dangerous relationship that sends Nancy down a rabbit hole of underworld threats and violence. Meanwhile, Celia gets booted out of her home by her husband and becomes estranged from her young daughter, Isabelle (Allie Grant), who insists she's a lesbian. Celia rebounds a bit when a corrupt developer (Matthew Modine) gives her a house in exchange for her support on city council for one of his schemes. That goes wrong, too, when Celia allows Nancy, Doug (Kevin Nealon), and Conrad (Romany Malco), all of whom go into business after U-Turn stops being a problem, to put their endangered trove of marijuana plants in her house. Nancy's other son, Shane (Alexander Gould), claims he can see and talk to the ghost of Nancy's late husband, and Nancy's brother-in-law Andy (Justin Kirk) goes AWOL from the U.S. Army after his comrade is deliberately killed in an experimental missile test. As always, it's one thing after another on Weeds, and the blend of humor and suspense is uniquely compelling. Parker and the rest of the cast pull off some pretty surreal situations with great credibility. The show's lead star, particularly, can carry moments of blended terror and comedy: one of the season's most memorable moments finds Nancy forced to put on a sexy dance for a group of drug dealers in order to pick up a package U-Turn requires. The scene is humiliating, frightening, sexy, and comical all at once. Few actresses could have pulled it off, but Parker does. --Tom Keogh
Description
America's favorite pot-dealing soccer mom is more addictive than ever in the third season of WEEDS, the highly acclaimed Showtime(r) Original Series. Emmy (r) and Golden Globe(r) winner MARY-LOUISE PARKER stars as Nancy Botwin, a single mom who resorts to dealing pot after her husband dies suddenly. But when an off beat way to make ends meet grows into a mini-empire, the mother of all dealers finds she may be in over her head - and on the verge of taking everyone else with her. Hilarious and subversive, WEEDS is the hit that put the herb in suburb.

 BD format review, not Weeds February 4, 2010
M. Riedel (midwestern U.S.)
okay, I got in to Weeds on a recommendation from a friend...I am totally addicted. This review is not about the show but, about the format. I went with Blu-ray format so I could check it out on my new LED television and BD player. I am a bit disappointed in the quality - it is little better than a standard DVD that has been up-converted. I was able to get seasons 1-3 on sale at Amazon for same price as the regular DVD so, at least I didn't over-pay. But, if I had shelled out the full-price, I would be upset about it. If you can get it on sale, go for it. But, don't expect a lot of WOW factor.
Good Season of Weeds January 25, 2010
Beth (Baton Rouge, LA)
It took a little longer than I expected to recieve my order, but it was worth the wait. The box was a little bent but otherwise it was in great shape.

My son wanted to see this TV show and the DVD rental store was closed. So he went on to Amazon and requested it. It is such an easy and convenient way to watch a show or movie at the spur of the moment. It was a decent value too. Would recommend to others.
THE best season of Weeds so far! December 22, 2009
S. Jones
I really liked the first two seasons of Weeds, but it didn't really draw me in like this one. This season--without any spoilers here--was the best. It had a lot of new, different characters and the humor was great, as well. I am so glad they finished up some of the storylines--again, no spoilers--and got to some really good stuff. So looking forward to season four--which I've already purchased!!
