The series is based around a recently widowed mother of two, who makes the decision to sell Weed in order to continue to support her family, to level that they have grown accustomed too. Obviously with the title of the series called Weeds, this program caused some uproar prior to airing, but it went through thankfully, because it is not solely based on hard hitting drug barons and their ruthless methods, far from it indeed. It concentrates on a recently widowed mother of two, who in times of need and necessity, turns to selling some weed to her close friends and those of her deceased husband. Then it is to a select few people, before trying to expand out further. Not only do we follow the growth of her little empire, but we also see how her family are dealing with their own personal feelings, their own growth and their own lives. This is done in such a way that it makes the next episode worth waiting for, the humour included in each episode of this series is great.
