Weeds: Season 3

I'm disappointed to see many negative reviews of the 3rd Season. I got mine from Amazon last week and have already watched the whole season and it was great! I was nervous going in because I had heard from various people that season three wasn't as good, but after I got watching I was not at all sure what the fuss was about, the show is pushing itself and growing in new directions like it needs to if it's going to survive. The show challenges you to think about "drugs," what's right and wrong, and examines the inter-workings of suburbia with such cleverness that I am always pleasantly surprised.Nancy Botwin is the perfect character, you love her, but sometimes want to slap her. Parker is an amazing actress and makes this show work from beginning to end. I also love her youngest Shane, he's excellent this season and glad to see him getting more and more airtime. This show is both funny and heartbreaking and blows most shows on TV right now out of the water. I'm really excited to see how season 4 plays out. I think it's a great sign that they are breaking out of the "little boxes."Don't listen to the negative reviews. If you liked season 1 and 2 you will love season 3!

I'm amazed at all the negative reviews given for Season 3 of this brilliant, addictive funny show. When I bought the first series of Weeds, it took me a few episodes to really get into it, after which I was totally hooked. Season 2 was equally brilliant and season three certainly didn't disappoint. All the characters have fully expanded into the extreme of their type - which is exactly what I would expect of an entertaining show. This is not reality - this is an extremely funny parody of stereotype characters. For viewers to suddenly get moralistic about various aspects of the comedy, such as not showing religious fundamentalists in their positive light, completely misses the point. I, for one, am very grateful that the writers have not degenerated into the mire of political correctness that has completely ruined many a good comedy in the past. (Not to mention life in general)Some of the scenes in Season three had me laughing to the point of tears. Couldn't stop myself watching the whole thing in two nights. Love the quirky music. Roll on Sesaon 4!!

Weeds - Season Three What could be more American than Mom, apple pie, and weed in the grow house?! I started watching this gem of a show because of Mary Louise-Parker. I've continued watching because of the fine ensemble acting, stellar writing, and general shock and awe fun of it all. What more can happen to 'Lacy LaPlante'? If ever there was a living, breathing example of Murphy's Law in action, it is Weeds.Season One, episode one got me hooked....um....addicted....um....made me a fan. Season Two just strengthened my addiction....my love/hate affair with Agresstic and all the characters who stream on and off camera. Season Three got me fired up and anxiously awaiting the buzz of season four.Whether or not you have ever been in that life or known anyone in that life or even like people in that life, the superb direction, the phenomenal scripts, and the amazing cast make this a character study for even the most straight-laced right-wingers. The look gets better, the stories get better, and if season three is any indication of where this is going, I plan to be onboard.

Season 3 grabs you right off and is a thrill ride from beginning to end. And of course their is always the cliff hanger. Well worth getting if you like the series. My mistake was buying season 1-6 from Amazon on thier holiday special. I have had to return season season 3 twice and finally went to Ebay and payed a few bucks more for a WORKING copy. Then On season 5 had the same problem but gave up on trying to get a GOOD replacement. I truely think Amazon bought up a huge amount of bargin sets and dumped them off on the public. I have read on a number of sites that I'm not the only one that got stuck with duds. Buyer beware! As for Weeds season 1-5 have been great season 6 has hit a snag but I'm only part way through. Hoping they bring the excitement back into what so far seems to be a wondering mess.

Season Three cranks up the action and raises the stakes another notch, piling up the trouble on everyone. Sure it all becomes a little more fantastical this season, but the satire of self-righteous suburbanites gets even more biting and scathing. The dash of extra vinegar is delicious. Nancy's deal with Guillermo (involving the trunk in episode 7) is pure genius. Her second disastrous deal, leading to the season finale, is stupefying.I love the way Nancy capitalizes on the way people underestimate her. Her apparent naivete is her ace.The kids' involvement in the operation (including Isabel, ultimately) is both charming and disturbing.I'm ready for season four! The soundtracks to seasons 1 & 2 also rock.

at the end of season two, you see things start to unravel, doug wilson's marriage, his affair with celia, and peter scottson getting killed. nancy right now, needs some downtime to regroup and start to cut her losses. i have been watching the video clips on the shotime website and i can't wait to get season 3 on dvd. i don't care what the naysayers say about season three. i will be a loyal weeds watcher until the end of the series no matter when it ends. and also, it would be nice to see heylia get out of the kitchen for once, but i don't like the addition of mary kate olsen.

from what i actually got to watch this time around. the season was great. though i ordered this and received only one disc.. from block buster.. i was refunded.. but then re-ordered it from another company .. only for it to come once again with only one disc.. once again refunded.. but the 2 discs where filled with laughs.. and i have seen the series in full in the past so i understood what was going on.. if you haven't watched any weeds.. you might want to check it out.. the whole series is great

Great show

Great show

Just coming to the end of watching all three seasons back to back.If you haven't seen any of the Weeds seasons yet, do yourself a favour and start from the beginning to get maximum enjoyment as well as to understand the characters.This season sees Nancy find and lose a friend, resolve the key business issues which were becoming a veritable millstone. The call to turn up to the DEA office is priceless. Shane challenges the fundamentalist summer school about the separation of church and state, suffering the consequences. Andy gets a get out of the army free card. Celia ends up in quite a hole.The script writing is in a superb class of its own. You never really know what's going to happen next and the humour has had me falling off the couch laughing so hard at times. I also like the way the closing song of each episode ties in well with the last scene.Although Weeds is marketed primarily as a comedy do not accept it as such and I think you will get more enjoyment from it. What I don't nderstand is why so few people in the UK have heard of this series. It's brilliant.

amazing shipping and fast lots of laugh been a good thing to buy this season planing on buying all the rest of them

The show is fantastic; when you think it can't get worse, it does. It is so funny. BUT I have had two Series 3 delivered - INCOMPLETE - ie. Episodes 1-4 and 9-12 only - there are 15 episodes according to Showtime - I tried going from E04 to E09, but need to see E05-8 and the final of S03! Check your box sets when they arrive. Currently looking for the Complete Box Set Season 3! Carol
