Weeds - Season Eight Blu-ray Review

[TJ]

At the end of the seventh season of the Showtime series Weeds, fans were left with one big question: who shot Nancy Botwin, and is she even still alive? Now, in the eighth (and final) season, fans finally get the answer to that question, and also get to find out what is next for Nancy Botwin, for the very last time.

So let's backtrack just a little bit to catch people up on what has happened. Back in season one, which aired in 2005 (though the events actually happened over a decade ago given the time warps that creator Jenji Kohan decided to take us through to skip the boring stuff), Nancy Botwin was a small time weed dealer and soccer mom in an upper-middle class suburban California community. There was a lot of drama and some wildfires eventually destroyed that entire town... which put an end to the being more or less "Desperate Housewives with marijuana." The journey brings Nancy and her family to a town in California on the Mexican border for a little while, and eventually Nancy marries a wealthy (though corrupt) Mexican politician. It looks like everything is going to go well now, but a tiny little murder committed in the hands of innocent little son Shane puts the family on the run in an RV. Eventually, the run leads the family out of the country to Amsterdam, except Nancy ends up getting arrested at the airport and ends up spending time in prison. The family reunites together in New York for a while, until the eventually end up moving to the suburbs to live with Nancy's sister. And all is going well again, at least until Nancy is shot by an unknown perpetrator... and with that, you have the VERY brief synopsis of what has happened over the first seven seasons. In the eighth season, the series picks up from there and takes us on the last adventures of the Botwin family.
