You just guessed it right! “Weeds” is exactly what you have thought… marijuana, drugs, sex, and law. Nonetheless and entertainingly, the show has something more to offer. “Weeds” is a black humorous television series that is airing on Showtime cable network in the U.S. The show was created by Jenji Kohan and produced by Lionsgate Television. The plot presents a fictitious suburban community in California, its residents and their involvement in the distribution and addiction to marijuana. The story revolved around Nancy Botwin (Mary-Louise Parker), a widowed residence of Southern California and a mother of three boys. Her husband dies without leaving her any money thus to maintain her middle-class lifestyle by which she was accustomed, she begins to market illegal drugs among the residents. Initially, her regular clients were her accountant, lawyer, and suburban fellows. Eventually, as she continues to fight for survival, she expands her network competing with the notorious drug lords and gangs. Eventually, she found herself to be a member of an international drug-smuggling cartel. While Nancy is willing to risk life and limb for the love of family, she still scares to death that her sons be involved in the same business as hers. Unfortunately for her and for the family, all got into the same business. Nancy has been married three times and has three children. Silas (Hunter Parrish), hotheaded and impulsive, is Nancy’s eldest son. He has been sexually active since the show started. But sometimes he could be naïve though. He is especially good in selling marijuana for her mother. Eventually, he decides that he wants action on his own, without his mother monitoring him every now and then. Hence he put up plant cultivation with his friend Doug; Shane (Alexander Gould) is a highly intelligent yet poorly socialized son of Nancy. He develops an obsession over Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and frequently asks her mother to move the family there. At home, he is often neglected by his family because of the drug dealership thing. And at his school’s premise, he is often called “Strange Botwin” and is habitually a target for bullies. Shane’s personality takes a spin when he moves to Ren Mar. He suddenly becomes violent and disregards rules and laws. Perhaps his transformation reflects his experiences of being neglected at home; Stevie Ray (guest character), the third son of Nancy, is given a furtive alias Avi Newman. After some twists and turns in keeping her son from the father, Nancy manages to take Stevie under her custody. Other substantial characters include Andrew “Andy” Botwin (Justin Kirk), Judah Botwin (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), Lenny Botwin (Albert Brooks), Jill Price-Gray (Jennifer Jason Leigh), Lars Guinard (Rick Ravanello), Doug Wilson (Kevin Nealon) and Celia Hodes (Elizabeth Perkins). During the first season, Weeds lifted Showtime in ratings as the series was the highest rated for the network. As the fourth season premieres, 1.3 million views were casted to Showtime. This is the highest-ever rating achieved by the network. The succeeding season likewise attracts viewers as it ever has. Watch more than 3500 HD channels directly on your computer

Sažetak Predgrađe, mirno susjedstvo raskošnih kuća u nizu, s prednje strane drvored, iza kuća vrtovi s ležaljkama, bazenima, igralištima i golemom zelenom površinom. Nancy Botwin pobrinut će se da u jednome takvom predgrađu trave nikada ne nedostaje... U bogatom predgrađu Los Angelesa, obitelj Botwin živi sretnim životom sve dok glava obitelji, Judah, iznenada ne umre za vrijeme džoginga. Nancy Botwin (Mary-Louise Parker) nađe se u nezavidnoj situaciji jer mora preuzeti ulogu hraniteljice obitelji. Okreće se jedinom logičnom rješenju - počinje dilati marihuanu! Nancy drogu kupuje od Heylije James (Tonye Patano), velike krijumčarke koju je upoznala preko njezinog nećaka Conrada (Romany Malco), a prodaje je, izgleda, svima u okrugu jer joj zalihe vrlo brzo presuše. Shvativši kako joj trebaju i kućna plantaža marihuane i dobar paravan za cijeli posao, Nancy uz pomoć svog računovođe i mušterije, a ujedno i vijećnika, Douga Wilsona (Kevin Nealon) otvara pravu pekaru u kojoj upućenim kupcima prodaje pravu stvar. Istovremeno, njezin sin Silas (Hunter Parrish) počinje izlaziti s gluhom Megan (Shoshannah Stern), a drugi sin Shane (Alexander Gould), svjedok očeve smrti, počinje se sve čudnije ponašati. Vrhunac je kada drugo dijete ugrize za nogu za vrijeme turnira u borilačkim vještinama. Pokušavajući izgladiti situaciju, Nancy će se upoznati s ocem ozlijeđenog djeteta, Peterom Scottsonom (Martin Donovan), s kojim će uskoro početi i izlaziti, a koji nije samo ono za što se izdaje. Uslijed svih promjena u dotad mirnom i dosadnom životu, Nancy se sprijateljuje sa Celijom Hodes (Elizabeth Perkins) , maničnom i manipulativnom ženom opsjednutom svojim izgledom, koja se nikako ne slaže sa svojim suprugom Deanom (Andy Milder ), kao ni kćeri Quinn, bivšom Silasovom djevojkom, koju šalje na školovanje u Meksiko. Iako potpuno različite, Nancy i Celia sklopit će čvrsto i trajno prijateljstvo. Fantastičan i samosvojan spoj, ne samo obiteljske drame i crne komedije, nego i kriminalističke serije, 'Trava' autorice Jenji Kohan je jedna od najzapaženijih i najhvaljenijih američkih televizijskih serija posljednjih nekoliko godina. Odgovor na to zašto je tome tako prilično je jednostavan - 'Trava' je ujedno i jedna od najboljih serija, koja je kroz svoje tri sezone oduševila brojne gledatelje, a osvojila je i nekoliko iznimno prestižnih nagrada, među kojima su i Zlatni globus 2006. godine za najbolju seriju u kategoriji komedije ili mjuzikla te nagrada za najbolju glumicu u istoj kategoriji iste godine koju je dobila sjajna Mary-Louise Parker. Mary-Louise Parker već je godinama jedna od najuvjerljivijih američkih glumica, koja velikom zvijezdom nije postala ponajprije zbog toga što se nikako nije odlučivala na nastupe u velikim hitovima. Kao glavna pokretačka snaga 'Trave', međutim, konačno je naplatila svoj dugogodišnji odličan rad, i to ulogom kakva se viđa i igra jako rijetko. Naravno, kao serija koja je izgrađena oko širokog dijapazona likova, 'Trava' bi bila znatno manje uspješna da cijeli ansambl ne funkcionira savršeno, no uvijek je jasno tko je njegova prva violina.
