Season 7 of Weeds was fairly uneven and hardly one of its best. At one point I even wondered how many times the showrunners are going to be able to come up with new ways for Nancy Botwin (Mary-Louise Parker) to sell weed. In how many more troubles can she get. How much more screwed up can this family get before they finally jump the shark?
Parker is charming and disarming as always and Hunter Parrish (Silas) is growing into his own all the while becoming more and more gorgeous, but the usually endearing Justin Kirk (Andy) and Kevin Nealon (Doug) were mostly boring, while the cunning Alexander Gould (Shane) was almost an afterthought.
Bringing back the great Tonye Patano (Heylia) was a good move, but it made me long for Elizabeth Perkins (Celia) and wonder what happened to her.
The show still has its sparks, but I'm starting to feel less engaged as the situations Nancy finds herself in become more and more dangerous but less and less believable.
Grade - Season 7: 6
