Weeds

[AThousandLies]

My mum recently got me into this show and I've only seen two episodes, but it is simply amazing. It's like British humour, but done by the Americans (sorry, but that's a really rare thing from my observations). It's able to be witty, rude and borderline smutty, but it does it in a manner that's so sophisticated and undercurrented (is that even a word?) that it's virtually impossible to be offended by it. The acting is great - especially that done by Justin Kirk and Mary-Louise Parker. For more info, of course:

And for a clip of perhaps the greatest lesson I have ever seen:

This show is really popular here in the states....too bad I don't watch TV.

Fantastic show. Tho I haven't seen any of season 3 yet. I don't think it's like british humor at all, but whatever. IMO, the real gem performances are Elizabeth Perkins and Kevin Nealon, but the entire cast is great. Awesome theme song too. :)

The mum from it is a slamming hottie.

I think this is where most of the show's popularity stems from.

How the hell is it British humor?

How the hell is it British humor?

 

 

 

In the way that it's not in-your-face straight-up, exaggerated simple humour, which is the sort of crap we get from American TV over here?
