“Weeds,” which debuts Sunday, follows the life of Nancy Botwin (Mary-Louise Parker), a widowed super mom who feels forced to support her family by selling marijuana.
Without skipping a puff, the first two episodes of “Weeds” take on drug use, racial stereotypes, homosexuality, teen sex and death in very pointed and unpredictable ways.
In the first installment, “You Can’t Miss the Bear,” Nancy battles hypocrisy and a competing marijuana dealer. She advocates selling to adults, but berates her boy rival for selling to her clients’ kids. Ultimately, Nancy is presented with a brilliant way to make her competition follow her code of honor.
Meanwhile, Nancy’s son, Silas (Hunter Parrish), keeps trying to do the naked hokey-pokey with Celia’s older daughter, forcing Nancy to assume the role as good-and-bad cop because her husband is gone.
