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.

 Great show! May 10, 2010

This is a Great show came fast and I am very pleased with what I bought.
 Pretty much a catastrophe March 27, 2010
Relentless (Gainesville, FL)
While season I and II were nothing short of extraordinary and riveting, season III amounts, IMO, to a massive crash-and-burn of epic proportions. While the writing in the first two season was deep, consistent, mature and kept the story line, this third season has pretty much decimated any good the first two seasons had. The series took on a bad, bad puerile collegiate-preachy tone that's pretty disheartening at times. Characters have become flat, insipid and inane. Situations tend to solve themselves rather trivially and almost in a sit-com fashion. I truly think this was originally a 2-season show that has been artificially drawn out due to the immense popularity the show enjoyed in its first two season. Nothing short of an atrocity. A true shame.

the item came quickly, but one of the discs had sticky stuff on it..took a lot to get it off.
HILARIOUS!!!!!! March 17, 2010
Kristin (Florida, USA)
This TV series will keep you going back for more. If you think you're going to be able to watch this an episode at a time your nuts. You'll start watching it and with all the unbelievable humor and cliff hangers you'll start watching this a disc at a time. Before you know it your through the season and onto the next. Nancy Botwin makes the life look easy but you can't help but feel for her and empathize for her when she goes through all that she does.
Great Price! Great Quality! March 9, 2010
C. Curtis (WILDwood, Nu Jerzee)
The show keeps me on my toes. I love it and the video and audio quality of this Blu is flawless. Looks perfect, Sounds perfect. I love this show and I will continue buying all the blus!
