I’ll be the one that leaves you high
I’m awake.
Just woke up at 4pm today. Something I haven’t done in quite a long time. See, from the hours of 1am to 8am, I was watching Weeds.
I had always dismissed it as a gimmick. A show with no real value except for Kevin Nealon getting the munchies, man. You know, like something Fox would air. But after watching 14 episodes straight, I have to say it is a pretty decent show. At times even great. But what really holds the show back is the kids, Nancy’s (Mary-Louise Parker) kids. They’re just so unbelievably annoying. And also the show lacks a real sense of danger. You have a feeling that everything will turn out alright by the end of the episode. I’m not saying someone needs to die or go to jail, but the show just feels too “safe”. Which I understand since it is sold as a comedy first.
So if you haven’t already, give Weeds a shot. It’s definitely a lot better than most of the new Fall shows from the networks.
