DVD Reviews of Weeds - Season Two
DVD Review: another great showtime show!
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great series. This season isn't as "serious" as the first one, in that there is NO WAY this stuff could happen, but it is as good in that there are some really humorous moments and great characters.
In my opinion the frist couple of seasons are the peak of this show. Interesting story lines and sub-plots that keep you guessing. At this point, you still like the characters, who seem to have an ounce of remorse for all the stuff they do to hurt people.
DVD Review: The Season Turns Darker, and Better
Summary: 4 Stars
I haven't subscribed to Showtime in years, so I came to this party late. I bought the first season on a recommendation, and while I liked it a good bit, it seemed all a bit transparent. It was too self-consciously quirky for it to get a hook deep in. Characters are given droll dialogue that skims personalities, leaving out anything that couldn't be exploited for oddness. It's the standard juxtaposition of relaxed hipness against the staid pettiness of self-righteousness, an in-your-face mockery of mainstream values already gainsaid by the basic naughtier truth. Sometimes the stories went out of their way to find the most shocking scenario, skidding to a stop just short of offending anybody who might mount an effective complaint, even daring to show a nearly prepubescent girl locked in a lesbian puppy-love embrace. This could be mistaken by the easily titillated for avant-garde television. It doesn't seem so out-there to me, but is instead just plain fun to watch. So by season's end, I concluded that the series was likable and entertaining, but unremarkable. It finished with Nancy's business plan fully detailed, down to a division of labor. Without a cliffhanger finale it felt complete and I didn't hurry to find out what happened next. When I noticed this economically priced Complete Second Season on Blu-ray, there was no reason not to follow Nancy's further adventures as TVs most enterprising MILF.
The second season maintained the brisk pace of the first, the dialogue still distinguished by the skippy style. Like in the first season, the tension we're supposed to feel in Nancy's conflict over her familial obligations as a role model and her illegal role-busting activities is never a convincing source of drama or comedy for me, and my attention wanders until we get back to the good stuff. Other than that, the series has definitely improved, has become darker. A few hair-raising elements were added, events that make you a little nervous for Nancy. She's compromised in nearly every episode, in some situations that are dangerous, some which are resolved in humorous ways; in others, not so humorous. And the season finale has one humdinger of a cliffhanger. I'm happily hooked now, and I'm eagerly looking forward to the third season.
As for the Blu-ray itself, I'm got a few reservations about the picture quality. Oh, it's sharp enough alright. But some textures are lost during particular lighting conditions, especially during closeups under a bright light or in the slanted light of a setting sun. The skin tones became oversaturated in a garish yellowish hue. The picture would shift suddenly as the light reached a threshold, jumping to a hotter palette, the complexions bleached in a yellow-to-white glare. It's not unacceptable, but it was noticeable if you're overly sensitive to such things. I shrugged it off because pleasing saturation levels were the norm, with everything sharply outlined with window-clear clarity. However, beyond its slickness and its clean air, this series doesn't have a unique visual style, making hi-def inessential to the enjoyment of it. Maybe next time I'll settle for the SD edition.
Unless the Blu-ray edition is cheaper, as it was this time out.

DVD Review: Instant Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of my favorite shows of all time. It is an instant classic! Its edgy and innovative. I always think the show cannot possibly find its way out of the latest predicament, and it always does! Totally unpredictable. Set your TIVO's for this one, and then buy the DVDs for you and everyone you know. Enjoy!DVD Review: officially addicted

Description of Weeds - Season Two
Funnier, darker and more daring, the second season of this acclaimed Showtime series reaches a higher ground. Golden Globe winner Mary-Louise Parker stars as Nancy Botwin, the soccer mom who had to learn how to deal - pot, that is - after the death of her husband. Now, her business is a hit. But keeping up with the neighbors in this suburban utopia isn't easy. She's joined up with a few of her closest friends, and together they're facing life's highs and lows - because even in paradise, nobody's perfect. Don't miss WEEDS, an addictive comedy, the highest grade TV has to offer.The first season of Weeds ended with a shocker: Nancy (Mary-Louise Parker) found a dreamy new boyfriend, but he turned out to be a DEA agent (Martin Donovan). Luckily, she manages to find some pretty creative ways to "deal" with it. Despite that new obstacle, she decides it's also time to "grow" the business to higher levels, and all these risky moves lead up to another fabulous season finale cliff-hanger. Elsewhere in suburban utopia, comic relieving brother-in-law Andy (Justin Kirk) tries to dodge his army commitments by joining Rabbi school, while the hilarious Doug (Kevin Nealon) battles it out with Celia (Elizabeth Perkins) to maintain power over the Agrestic City Council. Plot aside, Season 2 of Weeds took this potentially great show to the next level. No matter how hard they tried in the first season, the show's makers had a heck of a time trying to shake the impression that they were mimicking the edginess of HBO's original programming. (Some might have gone as far as to say they were trying a little too hard.) This time around, the characters and the story have grown into their own skins, and they offer something much more authentic and convincing. The second season also starts a great new tradition: Malvina Reynolds 's "Little Boxes" is still the opening theme song, but it is performed by a different artist for each episode (from Elvis Costello to The Shins). Just one more thing to keep us "addicted." --Jordan Thompson
