Weeds - The Complete Second Season (2005)

This is what TV should be

Even in the face of finally getting some incredibly good TV dramas this past season ("The Riches" with Minnie Driver and Eddie Izzard, "Damages" with Glenn Close and Rose Byrne, both on FX; "Saving Grace" with Holly Hunter and Leon Rippy on TNT), "Weeds" remains one of the best pieces of television since "Once and Again" a decade ago. More subtle and yet more complex than "The Sopranos," this is Mary-Louise Parker at her best and bringing out the best in the cast around her. Incredible writing. Worth the price of a Showtime subscription all by itself, and certainly worth every penny of the cost for the DVD collection. Don't scrimp; if you have the equipment spring for the Blu-ray versions of all three seasons available so far (Season 4 just started this week with Albert Brooks added to the cast -- butI am going to miss the theme song of the first three seasons). This one doesn't just blow smoke. Go ahead and inhale. June 19, 2008

Just as good as the first season.

If you've seen the first season of Weeds, then you basically know what to expect from the second season. Hilarious writing and performances mixed with serious family drama. Everything gets taken up a notch in the second season, though, with Nancy getting caught up in more complex situations right up until the final moments of the season, which I won't spoil here. The comedy is also a bit broader, but always on the mark.

My only complaint is that Silas is even more insufferable than before (he is the one character on the show I truly can't stand--it seems like all he does is throw temper tantrums). Thankfully, he is largely relegated to his own side story and doesn't spoil much of the fun!

If you haven't seen season one, then you should check it out first. A lot of the character relationships are set up there, and jumping in at season two might leave you wondering how things got to this point. June 4, 2008

great season

I absolutely loved this season of Weeds. I bought it recently, and the picture quality is amazing in HD. Season 2 of Weeds is a must buy for anyone who liked the first Season. It only goes up from here in the story line... and leaves you with an amazing cliffhanger ending. Buy it. May 31, 2008

Weeds Season 2 Blu Ray

This was one of the first Blu Ray titles I purchased. Since then I have learned to read reviews on any Hi-Def titles before I purchase them. I love the show but unfortunately it looks horrible on Blu Ray. Everytime there is a dark scene, you see all of the compression in the blacks and darker tones. Its awful and I wonder if it looks better on regular DVD. It definitely looks better just watching it on TV. April 19, 2008

Fantastic

This is the best show I've seen in a while. Every episode keeps you sitting on the edge of your seat, which makes you not want to stop. Everything about it is great, the acting, the writing, the story, even the opening song, sung by different people all the time. 10x better than the 1st season, but you still have to watch the 1st season to get a really good feel of the characters, rent it at least. Then the ending... it's golden.

The picture quality isn't too good on this blu-ray so if you're on a budget get the DVD instead. The sound on the other hand is excellent 7.1 channel PCM January 11, 2008
