Grade: B+ | Genre: Drama Summary: One thing that is for certain is that Weeds does not feel like anything else on television. Weeds is a remarkable show, moving from dark comedic scenes into some very disturbing moments. The last episode really illustrates this. The opening scenes showing Nancy stuck with Cesar, the right hand man of Esteban, following her around town are hilarious. When Cesar says he is religious, at least to a certain extent, Nancy deadpans that the whole of you shalt not kill what's not working out for you. Cesar responds that he supports guy marriage.

Jennifer Jason Leigh makes her appearance as Jill, Nancy's sister. Jill drunkenly bonds one night with Andy, in a cleverly made sequence that uses jump cuts to illustrate Jill's erratic and uneasy feelings about her sister Nancy. She goes from saying how much she loves her sister to saying she's a miserable c**nt. Eventually Andy and Jill do end up having sex. However, it is all about Nancy. Both are yelling throughout the entire act about their mutual love/hate of her. Shane records the tryst and one can only wonder what he intends to do with that. He will probably demand to be returned, pronto, to Ren Mar.

A more interesting storyline was Silas and Doug's. As the two go out to the fields to plant Silas' crop, they encounter some rather vile, machine gun totting thugs who take everything they have. Kevin Nealon is hilarious in this episode. Doug encounters a butterfly, which changes his mood from sweet to being pissed off. Later in the scene he corrects their kidnappers, stating that he is not the father of Silas. They are friends, but it's not sexual.

In the later scenes of the episode it stops being funny for Nancy. The scene where she visits Guillermo in jail is quite illuminating for both her as well as the audience. It's just another telling moment, illustrating just how tough and strong Nancy can be. She goads trash talking Guillermo with graphic, nasty prison rape talk. Guillermo does strike back with the statement that Esteban would undoubtedly kill Nancy very soon. This hits Nancy hard and has her feeling that the end is near and getting Dean to make preparations for her children to be cared for when she is gone.

The last scene, despite all of the show's disturbing moments, is particularly harsh. It directly involves Nancy. She asks Esteban when she's going to end up in a ditch, and in a drunken state she pushes a gun into his hand and tells him "just kill me now." This sets Esteban off, and what follows is very close to be a rape scene. Even more disturbing, it appears as though Nancy is into the quasi-violent sex act that follows. We are left wondering what is actually going on inside her head. Quite thankfully, there is no attempt to add any humor or levity to this. For Nancy it remains grim. Cesar walks in with Nancy still undressed and bent over where Esteban had left her.

It's very difficult to even consider Weeds a comedy when it includes disturbing scenes like this one. For some viewers it may feel like the show has crossed the line too many times and is simply just too much. However, the show can still be very engaging, even with the sudden shifts of tone. One thing that is for certain is that Weeds does not feel like anything else on television.
