So if you haven't heard about it already theres this show on Showtime called Weeds, and it is in fact pretty popular it comes on at 10 pm on Mondays
The series is already in its third season which seems to be reaching close to its conclusion and so far the season conclusions leave you wanting more and expecting the worse for each character.

Characters
Even though season 3 seems a lot less tense than the past two seasons I'm pretty sure they will leave it with a cliffhanger
The shows focus is around a suburban mom, Nancy Botwin (Mary-Louise Parker) who after her husband's unexpected death and subsequent financial woes, embraces a new profession: the neighborhood pot dealer. As it seems like everyone secretly wants what she's selling -- even city councilman Doug Wilson (Kevin Nealon) -- Nancy is faced with keeping her family life in check and her enterprise a secret from her neighbor/pseudo-friend/PTA president, Celia Hodes (Elizabeth Perkins).

I think that either A) somehow Peters ex-wife is find out about Nancy's business or B)Peters Partner is going to go rogue and seek personal revenge for his partners death and also his own removal from the D.E.A
Also is anyone sure of what exactly Peter and his partner were involved in, I understand the illegal wire taps but the way their boss made it sound they were in some deeper business than that (besides the whole protection of a suburban pot dealer thing)

Got canned pretty quickly here though, don't know if it was the backlash (there was lots) or if it just wasn't pulling ratings.
Seriously, how is that living arrangement going to work (Not that Conrad's a bad guy at all, but is a mother really going to want that kind of father figure for a young kid?) and what would they do for money?
Plus, I would do terrible, terrible things to Mary-Louise Parker.

I love how she can look completely devastated with just a sweet, weary smile on her face
what else is she good in? The guy who played Agent Peter is a pretty cool actor too.
I'm trying to work out if this is the same AUS that I live in. Or is it AUStria?
Because they had the whole first season on tv and they're just starting into the second season right now and I love it.
Indeed.

Not it's not. Puppies are far superior to hugs.

I just heard of this show called Weeds where, apparently, the characters make money with their underground drug dealing. I know it is a bit of a stretch, but I bet the characters here can do what they do in that show.
Hmm... I begin to see the wisdom in your words. But would you also say that I can enjoy Deadwood (in this metaphor, let's say sunshine) at the same time?

No no no!
That is not possible! Stop your senseless lies!
Do you not care who you hurt?
Like, too much random crap going on; it's just getting cartoony and completely ridiculous.
Not as good as the first two, yes, and the first couple of episodes are rather crap, but it gets better later on.

Yeah, the constant threat of rape and murder against Mary Louise Parker was very fatiguing for me as well.
