Why Hasn’t My Friend Seen ‘Weeds’ Yet?

More like “‘Weeds’ Is Drugs and Family and Drugs and Grief and Drugs and Comedy and Drugs, and How Have You Skipped It, JOHN?” Part 3 of a 3-part series.

Sure, watching cartoons while high is excellent, but when you’re high, what’s better than watching a stereotypical suburban family descend rapidly into the moral gray area of drug-dealing? Weeds’ Nancy Botwin used to be a soccer mom grieving her husband’s sudden death in a California suburb, but over a few seasons, she develops plenty of other names for herself (literally): The Black Widow, Nancy Scottson, Nancy Reyes, Nancy Bloom, Lacy LaPlant, and Nathalie Newman. Talk about some intense character development, John. WATCH IT, JOHN, GODDAMMIT.

This has been “Goddammit” — a series of arguments in brief by Sammy Nickalls — and part of #JohnWithTheWind.
