If you are like me, you do not start watching a show unless you are going to see it to the end. There will always be that one or two seasons of a series that were not as good as the others but Weeds has been half great, hilarious TV while the other 50% has simply been the result of not ending a show soon enough. What started as a story about a widow whose want to continue a comfortable lifestyle drove her to sell weed has turned into a reduced cast and a poorly written direction. Weeds used to be fast paced, witty, and darkly comical. Now we are in season 6 and most of the characters that made the story funny are no longer a part of it, including Elizabeth Perkins and Romany Malco. The Weeds true fans enjoyed is over and is now a race to see how it ends. To incoming fans of the show, beware of the massive change in story and tempo that takes place in its current five year run. As for us long-time fans, you can't deny that the show is way past its prime. My hope is for an ending that makes these last 2 seasons worth watching.
