Breaking the rules a bit.
Weeds (Showtime)
Monday, 10PM
Technically "Weeds" is a summer show, but I like it, so we'll talk about it. It just premiered last night with a pretty lackluster episode that was mostly set up. Hopefully the rest of the season is a bit better, since there is at least a sixth season on the way as well. The biggest hurdle creator Jenji Kohan will need to overcome is the overwhelming dark nature of the show recently. White lady is having a time, and I don't know that Nancy can deal with much more grief in her life; currently elder son Silas hates her and is running away to Mexico, younger son Shane hates her and is off to live with his aunt (plus deals pot on the side), brother in law Andy is in love with her but hates her for being pregnant...and of course, the Tijuana mafia wants her dead. White lady is having a time, indeed.
Forecast: Clear skies, since the series order is already in, but this show needs to find a way to bring the funny again or else risk alienating a significant portion of its audience.
