Let’s talk about the final episode of ‘Weeds’: Do you think the series ended on a high note, or did it all go up in smoke?
“It’s Time” couldn’t have been a more appropriate title for Weeds’ series finale, which aired Sept. 16 on Showtime. After eight seasons of selling pot, smuggling weapons, and God knows what else, Nancy Botwin (Mary-Louise Parker) and her merry band of hemp lovers have earned themselves a long retirement. But before the characters peaced out forever, we were given a long glimpse into their distant futures — and it was quite the trip.

We’re hoping new beginnings for Nancy will be the jump-start this ailing series needs!
I love the first two seasons of Weeds, but lately I feel as though I’ve been watching it out of a sense of devotion for bygone years. As the June 27 season 7 opener begins, Nancy Botwin (Mary-Louise Parker) and her family’s exploits have grown more and more ludicrous — and it’s been hard to identify with a woman who can just sleep her way out of the most dire situation. But luckily, this season starts with a shocking jolt the series could use to get fresh again. Some big SPOILERS from the first episode lie ahead!
