WEEDS Season 1. Mary Louise Parker is fantastic in the lead role of this comedy. Great fun, laugh-out-loud funny. This comedy is smart, hip, and the characters are spot-on. I recommend it.
I am new to watching the WEEDS after many people have told me about it. So I have watched the 1st season and I really like it. It is very different but good...
