Weeds

Wonder what this is like.

"Weeds, a new Showtime comedy series in which a suburban widow takes up the not very noble profession of pot-dealing after her husband drops dead, can't be called courageous, since the premium-cable networks have little to lose when they venture into controversial territory, but it is nonetheless daring. Weeds actually meets the rarely fulfilled promise of Showtime's former slogan: No Limits. Showtime suffers from reflexive, and mostly substantive, comparisons with HBO, but Weeds puts it a little closer to HBO in its asymptotic relationship with the Tiffany network of the premium-cable universe.
