Weeds

Weeds has quietly become one of the more dependable comedies currently available in Australia on Netflix and Stan, and in the US on Amazon Prime Video and MovieSphere+ Amazon Channel. 8 seasons of it means there is plenty to get through without ever feeling padded. Its 7/10 TMDB score, built from 1,000 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. Watch it for Mary-Louise Parker — stay for everyone else around them. Put it on tonight on Netflix and see for yourself.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Weeds earns its spot. Sharp writing and a well-matched ensemble are what separate Weeds from the crowd. After the unexpected death of her husband, a suburban mom resorts to selling weed to support her family. Mary-Louise Parker and Justin Kirk lead a cast with the timing to make it work. Across 8 seasons (2005–2012), it never lost the thread that made it worth starting. What keeps Weeds from feeling disposable is a cast that clearly understands the material better than the format usually demands. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh, Weeds is a strong candidate. If you have already watched Santa Clarita Diet, Weeds is a natural next step. 8 seasons is a lot, but the quality holds all the way through. Mary-Louise Parker sets the tone, but the supporting cast is where a lot of the best moments come from. A reliable pick for any night you want quality comedy without the homework.

Weeds wrapped up in 2012, created by Jenji Kohan — and 8 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
