Critique de l’utilisateur·trice gudaulin pour cette série (1)
Weeds (2005)
Weeds embodies all the traits of American modern and dynamic production - an attractive theme, interesting characters, and plenty of twists, presented in a way that even the far-fetched moments are digestible. However, what interests me is which America is closer to reality. Is it the one depicted in Weeds, full of drug dealers, promiscuity, and hypocrisy, or the one shocked by the infidelity of Tiger Woods or Sandra Bullock's husband, who chooses the most conservative moralists in the political arena? The series depicts the adventures of a middle-class woman whose husband unexpectedly dies and, determined not to allow her family's standard of living to decline, begins dealing marijuana, gradually revealing to her the world of drug dealers, growers, and users. Through her, the viewer also gets a glimpse into the life of a small-town community, where beneath the shiny facade of elegant villas, marital conflicts unfold, and children grow up who are far from scout ideals. The series is characterized by subtle irony and carefully measured cynicism, which prevents the characters from turning into grotesque monstrosities like in Californication. Overall impression: 75%.
