Was This Season of Weeds as Good as the Others?

September 16, 2008

Showtime's Weeds wrapped up its fourth season on Monday. The show shook things up this time around, leaving behind suburbia for a new life on the Mexican border — not to mention ditching its signature "Little Boxes" theme (and Conrad!). Did you think Weeds was as good this time? Or did it suffer without the Agrestic/Majestic setting?

I miss her relationship with Conrad, but either way I'm always going to stick with this show. I still love Weeds!

I have been a fan of Weeds since the first season. I must admit I was a little freaked about this season but I got into rather quickly. I do miss Conrad and Agrestic though.

i did enjoy this season for the most part. my problems are more with the nancy character and the fact that this season just wasn't as fun. i would have really loved to see andy and doug chasing mice all stoney, putting the holes in the walls, leaving peanut butter around. it just wasn't as fun, you know? like, more serious. i think they all need to move to mexico and have things slow down and get fun again. plus, it wasn't till the end of the season that she finally took responsibility for being a neglectful mom. but i'll just have to see...some of this seasons shows were amazing (remember andy, excuse me, el andy with the flappy hat letting his 'people' free haha) but that stuff with doug is like pretty much straight up depressing. i miss old doug

I didn't feel this season had the humor the other season did. I really missed that.

This season hasn't been one of my faves. I miss Conrad and his family the most. I also agree with Kimsy - no matter what she does, she somehow seems to get out of the bad spots. I am curious on how the twist will turn out.

It's been okay - I think overall I liked it better than season three, but it's still not as great as seasons one and two were. My biggest problem is that (for me) the character development over the past two seasons has made so many of the main characters unlikable and obviously that takes a lot of the fun out of it.

Used to be one of my favourite shows - but this season I stopped watching after about 5 eps.

I love Weeds and it's still amazing but I think it's off it's game a little bit. I miss Agrestic and I miss Sanjay [yeah I know he was around for a few episodes]. I really liked last night's finale though! Except I don't really like Shane, he's ugly and annoying and his plot is slow and boring. I was really disappointed when they said a main character would die and the person who died was the DEA agent. We already knew he would be dead A. his face was getting shredded off by a Mexican drug mafia and B. they said he would.

Celia makes my day. I love this show, Yes Nancy gets away with murder,lol,all the time, but I think that is the point of the show. She has morals at least, she told on Gillermo after realized he was seeling teenage girls. I like how the setting changed for a bit.

At the end of last season, I started to get really annoyed with Nancy, and it has pretty much continued this season. I still watched every episode, but it bothers me for some reason that, despite the fact that she is in a risky business with dangerous people, she manages to get out of every bad situation unscathed (usually at least partially by virtue of the fact that she is hot). I will say that the surprise ending definitely has me intrigued enough to watch at least two more episodes next year, but I am not sure. I am actually more interested in Celia's story line going into next season than I am Nancy's. That scene with Quinn was pretty priceless.

I miss the show being set in suburbia, Conrad, and his family. I don't like this whole storyline with the mayor...They don't have good chemistry, in my opinion. The end of last night's ep. did surprise me, though!

Although I enjoyed this season, I really miss Conrad (and Helia) a lot. Don't get me wrong - I never missed an episode this season but the tension/romance between Nancy and Conrad did more for me than the romance between Nancy and the mayor. I can appreciate changing things up and I think that this provided opportunity for additional storylines. Still...ya know?

i loved this season. it's interesting - i watched the first season and didn't pick up the others and then this year i watched again and i really enjoyed it. i've even been motivated to find the seasons that i've missed so i can sort of catch up ..after the fact.

I was really down on the show at the end of last season, so I think that this one did a good job turning things around. Last night's cliffhanger was exciting! Now...just have to wait a whole year to see how things turn out...
