The acclaimed noughties comedy-drama 'Weeds', once hailed as the most addictive show since 'Friends', is now available to stream on Netflix. The series, which originally aired from 2005 to 2012 across eight seasons, follows widow and mother-of-two Nancy Botwin as she turns to selling marijuana to maintain her affluent suburban lifestyle after her husband's death.
Created by Jenji Kohan, the showrunner behind 'Orange is the New Black', 'Weeds' blends dark humour with social commentary, quickly winning over critics and audiences. The series earned 20 Primetime Emmy Award nominations, winning for Outstanding Cinematography and Outstanding Sound Mixing. Lead actress Mary-Louise Parker received three consecutive Emmy nominations for her performance.
The cast also includes Alexander Gould, known as the voice of Nemo in 'Finding Nemo', and Hunter Parrish, who appeared in Netflix's 'Ratched' and 'This is Us'. Fans have praised the show's addictive quality and its exploration of suburban issues such as drug abuse, race relations, and morality.
One IMDb reviewer described it as 'the most creative, most hilarious TV show since Friends, and definitely the most addictive'. Another called it 'the perfect blend of comedy, drama, and social commentary'. The series is now streaming in full on Netflix.
