I am not a big fan of junk food, or junk TV, yet when I heard that the Season 7, the last, of “Weeds is on Netflix, I dived right in (I’m not kidding.  I found out yesterday, and am already at episode seven, just about midway).

There’s something about “Weeds” that just works.  The situations that the Botwin family find themselves in are generally a bit absurd–and that the family isn’t already moldering in a ditch somewhere, mainly as a result of their constant drug-dealing and occasional murder, only reinforces how silly it actually is–but good chemistry, and even better acting goes a long way toward assuaging any doubts about the reality, or lack thereof, of the situations the characters find themselves in.
