Title: A parody of itself
Review: The weakest Weeds season to be sure. According to Jenji Kohan, the show's creator, the writers were getting "bored". It shows in spades. The characters shamble through increasingly uninteresting and crude scenarios. The show's dark, satirical wit is gone in favor of poop jokes, porno, and lazy sex scenes. The characters still treat each other with the requisite malice and distaste, but the spark seems to be going out. (Thankfully I'm in Season 4 now and things are back to normal.) The production values are shoddy, the humor is weak/scatological, the satire is diluted, the new characters are boring and killed quickly or hang around far too long (one S. Graff--BORING)) All in all, a trite effort from such a promising, fledgling series.
