This third season of Weeds was one that I laughed at more than the others. It is not better than the first two but I would still recommend it. ***SPOILERS AHEAD*** I think this could be the last season of Weeds for some(possibly myself) as it kind of leaves you with an ending where you feel the characters will be fine. I don't feel as though it would need to continue. I have also heard that Conrad and Heylia are not going to be a part of the main cast this next season which is really disappointing! Weeds just won't be the same without them and I think this will disappoint some viewers.

Okay, Nancy Botwin herself might be included in the category of nefarious nitwits; that's only fair. She is so very naive about the world of drug dealing, and finds out just how much she doesn't know in this third season of the series.
She has experiences with U-Turn and Marvin that are both hilarious and unpleasant, and then along comes Guillermo, a new kind of thug who ends up wreaking havoc on Agrestic/Majestic that Nancy never imagined.
Celia is by turns sympathetic and hateful, given her behavior towards her former husband and their daughter; yet we can also see how much she wants to love someone and how she drowns her sorrows in alcohol.
Kevin Nealon, for my money, is the one who really shines. The SNL alum does his best and funniest work here as Nancy's CPA.
I'm surprised to say this, but Mary-Kate Olsen does a nice job as Silas's religious girlfriend.
Alexander Gould as Shane gets more screen time, and it is well deserved. It's too bad that he and Celia's kid couldn't have spent more time in the religious school, where they were shaking things up.
Yes, things change drastically by the end of the season, but there's nothing wrong with that. They couldn't stay in their little boxes forever. Now we will have a long wait to see what transpires in their new location in S. 4.

I saw that Season 3 of Weeds had come out recently, and was tempted to purchase it as I had thoroughly enjoyed Seasons 1 and 2. However, since I own way too many DVDs that I will never watch again, I opted to be patient and Netflix it instead. I'm so glad I didn't buy this, as it will never get a repeated viewing from me.
There was an excellent cliff-hanger at the end of Season Two, although if the truth be told, even by that point things were getting a little too crazy in the show (but I was still left completely engaged). After the first couple of episodes of Season 3, however, I started to get a sinking feeling. It turned into a show about gangsters and thugs, and was a far cry from the 'soccer Mom who deals pot in suburbia' that the series began as. Sure, there are still some funny parts, and I guess they were enough to make me get through the Season (but just barely), but even Doug and Andy's antics became a little too unbearable and ridiculous to fully enjoy. There are so many plot twists that simply don't make sense, and many subplots that don't go anywhere and have no place in the series (what the heck did Andy's stint in the Army have to do with ANYTHING?). Issues get 'resolved' in the most ludicrous ways; it almost feels like the writers want the show to be dumb. I feel the show 'jumps the shark' a million times and becomes too unrealistic to take seriously. As another reviewer stated, sometimes the show feels almost 'cartoony'.
I was glad after the last episode was done. It was a hard watch, but for some reason I felt I had to see it through until the end. For me the season finale felt like it wrapped the entire series up, and I don't care where Nancy goes now that Agrestic is up in flames. I am done with Weeds, and I will not watch Season 4. It's really a shame to know that a series that started off so strong sunk so low. But this seems to be the trend all too often.
As for the DVD quality itself, of course the picture and sound are excellent. I can't comment on commentaries or other special features, as I had no interest in watching/listening to them.

What a trend lately...shows starting out strong, then completely falling apart after one or two seasons.
I've never thought that the show was written for stoners, because I'm not one and I still enjoyed it, but that seems to be the audience that this season is aimed at. The show's characters have never exactly been fine upstanding citizens, but here they're just blatantly awful and painted in such broad strokes that they become cartoonish stereotypes rather than people. The gangstas are gun-toting, violent rapists, but are "endearing" with their witty dialogue. Kevin Nealon's character is over-the-top obnoxious, but everyone loves him. And worst of all, the military are morally bankrupt, testosterone-dripping murderous homophobes. Now, I'm no red-state war-lover, and I think that they kind of ARE those things, at times, but the show is so juvenile in its stereotyping, that even I am frustrated by it. Same goes for religious zealots. I have major problems with organized religion, but portraying them teaching the sin of abortion to children and speaking in tongues, without admitting any of their good traits, is cliched, one-sided, one-note foolishness. I get that it's all meant to be funny - and I often like comedy that stereotypes groups for a laugh - but much of the humor here is lost on me. This once-witty show now seems like a stoner's poorly constructed view of the world - people involved in drug culture are cool, and "the man" is oppressive and evil.
Weeds hasn't become unwatchable, but the really great scenes are few and far between. I loved the one in which Andy has dinner with the Indian kid and his family...THAT was funny, but unfortunately brief. It's occasionally entertaining but mostly disappointing.
