Weeds is a dark comedy television series that aired on Showtime between 2005 and 2012. It revolves around the life of a suburban mother named Nancy Botwin, played by Mary-Louise Parker, who decides to sell marijuana to make ends meet after her husband unexpectedly dies of a heart attack.

The show is set in the fictional town of Agrestic, California, and follows Nancy's journey as she starts to navigate the world of drug dealing while keeping up the facade of a typical soccer mom. As she becomes more involved in the drug trade, she finds herself in increasingly dangerous situations and must continually outsmart the law and rival dealers.

The show explores various themes, including family dynamics, addiction, sexuality, and the morality of drug use. It also features a colorful cast of characters, such as Nancy's sons, Shane and Silas, played by Alexander Gould and Hunter Parrish, respectively. Shane is a troubled child who has difficulty coping with his father's death, while Silas is more level-headed and helps Nancy with her business.

Other notable characters include Celia, Nancy's neighbor and frenemy, played by Elizabeth Perkins, and Doug, Nancy's accountant, played by Kevin Nealon. Celia is a manipulative real estate agent who is constantly trying to one-up Nancy, while Doug is a frequent drug user who helps Nancy launder her money.

Throughout the series, Nancy must navigate the complexities of the drug trade while balancing her duties as a mother and avoiding detection by the authorities. She faces several personal and professional setbacks, including the loss of loved ones, the seizure of her assets, and the threat of imprisonment.

Weeds received critical acclaim for its unique premise and well-developed characters. The show was praised for its blend of drama, comedy, and social commentary, and for tackling taboo subjects in a thoughtful and nuanced way.

In addition to its strong performances and engaging plot, Weeds is also known for its distinctive visual style. The show features quirky title sequences and uses a range of camera angles and filters to add visual interest to the episodes.

Overall, Weeds is a darkly humorous and thought-provoking show about a woman trying to make her way in a world that is not always kind to her. It is a compelling exploration of family, addiction, and the often messy intersection of the two.

Weeds is a series that is currently running and has 8 seasons (102 episodes). The series first aired on August 7, 2005.
