Blu-ray Reviews of Weeds: Season Five [Blu-ray]

Blu-ray Review: As a fan, the overall BD is worthwhile for the cost
Summary: 4 Stars

I just was not a huge fan of how all of the story lines went this year. Fans of the series have apparently embraced this season as one of the best, so I will stick with the BD review.

The picture clarity is outstanding throughout, with plenty of testings for the darks, color variances and flesh tones. There was only one scene in one episode where I caught any falter (the night scene where Nancy thinks about running away with dufus, sitting on the bench in her recently discovered dead garden). The outdoor dance scene in the public square demonstrated a nice rainbow of color with no issues. The sound however was disappointing. A let down only because it is 7.1 DTS, but I counted five times in the whole season that it actually got used (the birds while Celia is in the rebel camp, the boys on their nature hike, and a few indistinct scenes), so it almost feels like a waste - always a huge fan of DTS though - especially 7 channels. The supplements are almost all forgettable, disc 1 can play the episodes only and you would not miss a thing, including:

* History of Weed, 1:58 minutes (lodef). Corny animation boards covering the known history of the plant, boring.
* Yes We Cannabis, 1:30 minutes (lodef). A Kevin Nealon campaign speech for Nancy Botwin?? Whatever.
* Little Titles, 3:18 minutes (hidef). Reviews the intro artwork for each season 5 episode, brief narration for each that did not describe much.

* Backstage with Kevin Nealon, 11:07 minutes (lodef). Handheld nightmare of motion sickness as he walks from stage to stage showing the catering, trailers and behind the scenes stuff...not worth it.
* Relationships of Weeds, 12:15 minutes (hidef). The actors/creator get interviewed on their takes of where the dysfunctional relationships on Weeds are going and why. Not as insightful as I had hoped as they kept it where if you had not seen the season yet nothing shocking would be revealed.
* Bloopers, 11:04 (hidef). Drags quite a bot, but you will get a couple laughs out of it (I think the scene with the elderly loan officer was the most sincere) the rest were uneventful.
* University of Andy, 13 chapters totaling 33:58 minutes (lodef). These are the episodes you can access via the website. He does a classroom instruction of how to succeed at various "important" things in life (manscaping, surviving a wild animal attack, internet dating, etc.). Became real boring real fast - but I suppose fans of his might enjoy this.

I love the series, but the overall BD product could not warrant a content/sound/picture 5-star rating (2/3 of supps in lodef, DTS unused, no BD Live and there is tons of material online for this show). Region A coded spread over two discs (7 episodes on disc 1 with several supps, 6 episodes on disc 2 with the rest). Enjoy.
