    Despite being entertaining for the most part, it's difficult to truly love a show that has such a sexist commentary and where there are no decent characters to root for. Unusually for such a successful show, all the characters in Weeds are morally compromised - a mixed bag of perverts, misogynists, criminals and narcissists, ALL of whom are spectacularly selfish and/or self-absorbed.

    The triumph of Parker's performance - just like that of James Gandolfini's depiction of Tony Soprano - is that she makes one care about Botwin in spite of all her flaws. [7 Aug 2005]

    Darker than "Desperate Housewives," and even less nuanced. [11 Aug 2005]
