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.

 excelling in the third season July 5, 2008
Dianne Hedland (australia, perth)
after reading some negative reviews, i was a bit anxious as to how the third season wld go. well all my anxious feelings were blown out of the water as i watched more and more of season three- the series is continously growing and evolving, and i think this is especially the case with season three. as soon as i watched the last episode i hopped on amazon to c when season four wld be available and i have already signed up to be notified when it is available. excellent show, hopefully it will evolve even more in season four!!!!
Weeds Season 3 July 5, 2008
Aussie Girl (Perth, Australia)
Another great season with the drug dealers from Agrestic. The final episode in the series leaves you waiting and wondering what will happen next. Any past lovers of the strange but funny series will not be disappointed with the latest season. I look forward to seeing the 4th!
It Just Gets Better and Better! July 3, 2008

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.
Must see Showtime Series!! July 1, 2008
ShopAholic (Yelm, WA USA)
Alight well let me just say.. This series is a MUST SEE.. I couldn't wait till the third season came out just to see what else happens!!
Good fun great show great writing June 27, 2008
Typhoo (Pittsburgh, PA)
This is a great show that is good fun to watch, especially with others who don't take life so seriously. This is great writing season after season. I expect each season to become more developed as we get to know the characters (or it would be boring). If you love dark comedy, have a sophisticated sense of humor you will have a good time watching the whole series. To the rest, you need to lighten up! That is the point of satire after all...taking chunks of reality and putting them over the top for a good laugh.
