well considering it's out then, has anyone seen it? did you like it if so?

MrsDarkIdol Reviewed by MrsDarkIdol on 08-06-2005. Weeds???? Anyone heard of the new series coming out about pot? I think it's called "Weeds" not sure though. Maybe it's even out already. I just read an article about it in the Times magazine. But it sounds like they are going to make it comedic, but at the same time be showing how bad it is!It's about a soccer mom who starts growing weed to make extra income in the suburbs. It's suppose to show how even though the suburbs look clean, there is an underlying problem. I hope it does not come across this Rating: 5

lol that dosent apply to basic cable

Yes, it does. They want to attract the largest possible audience as well, and will not make any series that openly defies majority opinion. Sure, they have a little more liberty to express what views they want to, but they still won't make a program based on the idea that most people's view on a controversial issue is just plain wrong.

They won't paint the pot scene as it is. They won't show prohibition as the cause for all this organized crime, or show dying people denied the only medicine that works for them by the federal government. They won't argue that pot causes virtually no ill effects. Pot smokers/dealers will probably be portrayed as criminals, people who like to act stupid and whose lives are seriously complicated for having gotten into the "bad crowd".
