The past two episodes of Weeds seemed like they were from entirely different shows. "Machetes on Top" ended with Nancy actively attempting to kill her unborn baby in just about every way you can imagine, from eating fish to pointing a gun at her uterus. Then, to top it all off, her attempts to seduce Esteban, the man who wants her dead, end with him turning the tables on her and ACTUALLY RAPING HER.
On the other hand, this week's "Su-Su-Sucio" was very very funny. This is partially because of the wonderful Jennifer Jason Leigh. It is also because, although the threat of Esteban was still present, it was played for dark comedy (well, okay, until the very end). Recently this show has lost the funny, so hopefully this new episode is a sign of good things to come. The main point of this post being, if you've given up on Weeds (like I almost did), give it one last chance.
