A contrived plot line, perhaps the most unlikeable cast of characters to yet appear in a TV series, and a nasty undertone -- beginning with the opening credit's musical "theme song" -- make "Weeds" a major disappointment. I enjoy series like "Breaking Bad, Dexter, and even The Riches -- because at least some of the characters have an appeal. but the same can't be said for Weeds. I don't buy the suggestion that this was the writer's intention -- frankly, the show is too poorly written to even believe that there is a clever message simmering below the surface. Weeds is just a bad show.
