Weeds (2005)
I’d been missing the poetics of Sho.com. In retrospect, it is no longer necessary to follow the provocative theme as the main motif of the series; what remains today, twelve years later, is a well-written series that plays out in a sympathetic half-hour format the story of a suburb not so different from the place where each of us lives. Weeds is, after all, the story of a young widow looking for a way to live her life. And that's more than enough. Each series has a nice cliffhanger. So for now, after three seasons, that's good enough. Let's see if I can find time for the remaining five. It's starting to look like slapstick in places.
