Weeds

Post by Mickey O'neil »

Been curious about this show and I hear it is very good. Anyone here watch it? Thoughts?

TIA,
Mickey

I'm late to the party too Mickey.

Mrs Gorilla and I have watched up to season five.

You really need to start at the beginning. We tried jumping into season seven and felt lost.

Have you seen Breaking Bad?

weeds is bunk. that woman is just a shitty mother and a bit of a dumb bitch when it comes to business. hateful waste of brain cells

IMO, BB is the second coming of The Wire for gritty intensity. Walter White epitomizes excellence in Fatherhood -the willingness to do what is necessary.

No I haven't. I don't really watch much tv. Last show I really watched was LOST. Greatest show ever, imo.

I've never seen The Wire either. I started watching Dexter and really liked it but got kinda busy and lost track of it. Would like to get back into it.

We enjoy Weeds, but its definitely in a different category from The Wire, Breaking Bad, Mad Men, The Shield, etc.

Its more of a guilty pleasure like True Blood or Entourage. It's a fun way to waste a half hour, but you won't have died unfulfilled if you miss it.

Weeds was entertaining for a few seasons before it jumped the shark a few times too many. But it looks like March of the Retards next to Breaking Bad. If you were looking for a series to watch, Breaking Bad or The Wire would be the ones to see.

A lot of those shows are like crack-- once you get hooked after a few episodes, you will watch every episode.

I hate to admit it but I've watched through season 4. I like it but it leaves me feeling a little dirty; like the movie American Beauty-- there seems to be a a kind of Hebrew/homo self loathing that leaves me unsatisfied.

If you've got limited TV viewing time invest in 'Breaking Bad' or 'Sons of Anarchy.'

Remeber, Mick, I have never steered you wrong.

Come in, who wants to watch a TV show where everyone is practical, keeps their nose clean, and makes sensible, careful decisions? There's a reason why there there isn't TV show called Real Mormon Housewives of Salt Lake City.

You failed to notice where I lauded Walter White for achievements in fatherhood. Please to re-assess your nonsense.
