(may be considered spoiler if you haven't seen season 1. you are warned!) This is clearly one of the best written series ever. Each episode goes by very fast, and the plot is still interesting.

Having watched all of season one and two of Weeds I am now eagerly awaiting the third. The end of season two was such a crescendo of events which left me stunned and staring at my screen wanting more.

The show in general is fantastic in it's concept.

Throw in the at times eccentric music, which might I add fits perfectly, and it makes for a great show.
