Everything has pros and cons, including such things as being sick and staying at home. \u00a0One of the benefits of such a situation is loads of time. \u00a0Being sick means you can’t really work productively or focus at length on any more or less complicated issue. \u00a0But you might just have enough brain power to watch TV series in bed.<\/p>\n

It’s a been a while now that I’ve heard plenty of good about “Weeds<\/a>“, but somehow I didn’t have the time or will to start watching yet another TV series that is on the air for several years. \u00a0Now seemed like a good time. \u00a0So I got myself all six seasons. \u00a0I got hooked from the first episode, which appeared like very light, entertaining comedy, with a pro-legalize twist to it. \u00a0What followed was way more than that.<\/p>\n

All six seasons are done to the same level of quality, which is quite rare. \u00a0There is entertainment and fun to it. \u00a0But there are also characters that I couldn’t help but want to follow. \u00a0And there was even more than that. \u00a0Under an almost grotesque story setup, hidden is a very broad view of the drug problem in our society. \u00a0The story takes the characters through all sorts of situations, involving starting and expanding a drug business, ethics, society, legal and financial issues involved, government control, drug business relations with other crimes, corruption, and even a diverse exploration of how the problem varies between three different countries and states. \u00a0Without being too documentary or focusing too much on any specific issue, these TV episodes show how broad the problem is and how many areas it covers.<\/p>\n

I wasn’t thinking much about all that while watching episode after episode. Maybe I was still too sick for that. \u00a0Or maybe I just didn’t have the full picture. \u00a0But once I finished with all six seasons, I can’t stop but think about it.<\/p>\n

Despite your interest in drugs and legalization issues, I strongly recommend this show. \u00a0It is funny. \u00a0It is social. \u00a0It is about family. \u00a0It is about the current state of economy. \u00a0It is kind and considering. \u00a0And it tries to show the world from slightly different perspective without pushing a lot of agendas. \u00a0 My rating is 5 out of 5<\/strong>. \u00a0Well done. \u00a0Can’t wait for seasons 7.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
