There is an old joke about Hollywood. Basically it says that their philosophy is to find a good idea and then overdo it. This came to mind as I was watching the last episode of season 3 of Weeds. It is superb. It wraps up the whole show and brings the whole story to a very satisfactory ending - ambiguous yes, but that is appropriate too. If this was a British show there is a good chance that that would be that. It would have had three good seasons and gone out on a high point. Sadly no - a fourth season will be made. If ratings keep up, then a fifth and a sixth will follow - each worse than the previous. As much as I like this show, I want it to end now. I could stop watching - I wonder if I'm strong enough to do that.

Funny that I've just been recommended to watch this, after hearing about it for the first time this week.

Twisted. If I had to pick one word to describe Weeds then that word would be twisted. Twisted in so many ways. It isn't for everybody and it can provoke serious hatred too, but I really think you should see it.
