Weeds: Season 6 [Blu-ray]

Weeds Season Six - Still strong
Weeds has certainly changed alot over the years. It started out with poor widow Nancy Botwin secretly dealing dime bags to her suburban neighbors, and then she started carrying on with a DEA agent, who she marries. She then begins to grow marijuana, and starts to sell her own strain. She's held at gunpoint, her DEA husband is murdered, and she begins to pay a debt to a drug dealer named U-Turn, who eventually dies. Her neighborhood of Agrestic (a high-class suburban neighborhood that she has pretty much dominated over the years) burns down in a wildfire which she inadvertently, sorta-kinda caused. She then moves with her family down to Ren-Mar where she begins trafficking drugs for the Mexican mafia. She falls in love with Esteban Reyes, a mayor of Tijuana. She discovers that her cover business is being used for human trafficking, so she squeals to the DEA, and the tunnel is shut down. People find out that she squealed, so she is almost killed, and then BAM - she's pregnant with Esteban's baby. So, she has the baby, gets married to him, and begins to settle down into her new life. Soon, she discovers that there's a woman named Pilar Zuazo who is Esteban's boss, who wants Nancy out of the picture. Tension between them ensues for quite some time, and then in the finale, Nancy's 13-year-old son Shane kills Pilar, knocking her in the head with a croquet mallet, leaving her to fall into a swimming pool, and bleed from the head, to death.So, here we are, season six. Nancy and the family are on the lam again, and they stay on the lam through out the whole season, while Esteban and his crew are on their tail through out practically the whole thing. Like every season of Weeds, this one has a few slow-burning episodes in the middle of the season, that leads to an eventual spectacular finale, that makes you excited to see where it will go from here. Throughout the season, Nancy and her family settle in Seattle, each of them working minimum wage in a hotel. They then go to Nancy's hometown of Dearborn, Michigan. They impersonate religious fundamentalists, Nancy hooks up with the guy who played Zack Morris on Saved by the Bell, Silas has his long-overdue college experience, and the family makes some big plans.One thing that I love about this season is that every character is brought into some kind of illumination. Each character realizes how crazy the things they've done over the years are, and what kind of person they become because of their actions. Especially Nancy, who has seriously tricked fate over the years, she (finally) takes responsibility for her actions, and realizes what kind of person her actions have made her. And, we (the audience) realizes that she has always been a wild card, making decisions that are risky and possibly self-destructive. I won't elaborate more, other than saying that the season ends with a selfless act that makes Nancy a much more likable character in the long run.One thing that I really didn't like about this season, is that Elizabeth Perkins' character Celia isn't around anymore, when Kevin Nealon's Doug is still on the show, for what reason, I don't know. While Celia's story was getting lame over the years, they gave her a great cliffhanger in season five, which will probably never be resolved. And, at certain points in the season, the direction feels kind of aimless, like they don't know where to go with what they have. However, that proves to be untrue, as the season progresses.Bring on season 7!

The English Folk Love Weeds To.
I love Weeds alot, and as I'm from the UK I am not able to watch it when it airs. :( Season 1 - 4 were all 5 Star quality. Season 5 was okay i guess, saved by the fantastic finale.Shane has just killed Pilar and Nancy does what comes naturally to her, and runs.The best thing about this season is that the family (and Doug) comes to terms with there actions over the last five years.Shane is a little scary and untill like the 7th episode he is portrayed as a evil, but misguided child. Nancy has always dragged her family through the mud, but she makes up for it in this season when she hands herself in.Silas is the one character however that i followed the most, he was never the character i liked the most in previous seasons but he is the innocent soul trapped in a prison. I was gutted that he didn't have he's happy ending, but at least we get him back fro the next season.The first 5/6 episodes were fantastic, the series dipped a little towards the middle but teh finale was amazing.Great Show, Great Season.Bring On Season 7

blistering season six
They are back and season six is a reminder of just how good this show is!!! Having followed the ups and downs of the Weeds cast and series and unable to catch it on TV i resorted to waiting for the box- sets feverishly every time it came to an end of season in the states. There are more twists and turns and surprises for each character and Nancy and co have never been more up in the air!!!This season everything is turned upside down and its a gripping on the edge of the seat affair .Jenji has given us so much to wonder about this time and wherever she takes us we constantly be surprised and enthralled. This show has excellent writing ,a fantastic first rate cast ensemble to rival that of Grey's Anatomy,Dexter, Saving Grace and all the other first rate outside the box shows America has given us. You have to get it and embrace the mayhem , the laughs , the drama and the touching family that are driven by a mom trying to raise her family by any means necessary ,the only way she knows how!Roll on season 7 and many more they can muster ! Cant wait

Hit over the head!!
Weeds has done it and hit me over the head again!!!! Wonderfull season with great acting from all the cast!!!! Its a road trip you never wanted to take with YOUR family but that you love taking with the Botwins!! I love the fact that this show keeps reinventing itself and staying new. To the people that keep saying this show died after the first three seasons... Yes those seasons were GREAT but learn to live with the fact that this show continues to grow and change and that like real life those days are over and you have to look forward to the future. Thats what I am now doing waiting excitedly for the SEVENTH season of weeds! (in the mean time I WILL be watching my blue-ray copy of the seventh season and all seasons several times over) But I implore you give this season (and all past seasons) a chance - you won't be disapointed!!

einfach KULT und ein muss für jeden weeds fan. Nach den ersten Staffeln kann man gar nicht anders als weiterschauen
die sechste Staffel ist so krass witzig, es wird einfach von mal zu mal irrwitziger. Dabei nicht blöd unglaubwürdig.Sondern, einfach nur was passieren kann, wenn man mal dabei ist und mitten drin steckt.Die Sprüche sind der Hammer. Man kommt aus dem Lachen nicht mehr raus. Auch wenn man zwecks Englisch öfter malschaut, aber jeder weeds fan wird dies tun
