REVIEW: WEEDS SEASON 4
05/30/09
The fourth season of
Showtime’s highly acclaimed and award-winning series “Weeds”
comes to DVD and Blu-ray Disc this June, timed to coincide
with the show’s fifth season television premiere. Weeds:
Season Four includes all 13 episodes of the fourth season
which originally aired in the Summer of 2008, along with
special features including select commentaries with cast and
crew, numerous featurettes and interviews and a gag reel.
The Blu-Ray Disc features include all of the DVD extras plus
BonusView commentaries with Kevin Nealon and Justin Kirk.
Weeds: Season Four is taking “green” to a higher level as
the DVD will be packaged using 100% post-consumer recycled
paper and plastic water bottles.
Emmy and Golden Globe winner Mary-Louise Parker stars as
Nancy Botwin, a single mom who resorts to dealing pot after
her husband dies suddenly. When an offbeat way to make ends
meet grows into a mini-empire, the mother of all dealers
finds she may be in over her head – and on the verge of
taking everyone else with her. Last time we saw her, Nancy’s
business (and house) was going up in smoke. So the Botwin
bunch has relocated near the border for a fresh start with
some new buds. Co-starring Elizabeth Perkins (Fierce People)
and Kevin Nealon (TV’s “Saturday Night Live”), Weeds: Season
Four also features appearances by Academy Award nominee
Albert Brooks (Broadcast News), Julie Bowen (TV’s “Lost”),
Demian Bichir (Che: Part One) and Guillermo Diaz (TV’s
“Chappelle’s Show”).
Since its debut, the hilarious and subversive “Weeds” has
been nominated for 13 Emmy Awards and ten Golden Globes and
won the Golden Globe for Best Performance by An Actress in a
Television Series – Musical or Comedy – for Parker’s
brilliant performance. The show has continued to garner
enormous critical acclaim. TV Guide proclaimed it “sharper,
darker, funnier,” Newsday hailed “TV’s most caustic
comedy…addictive” and USA Today puts “Weeds high on the hit
list.”
