Widowed suburbanite Nancy Botwin (Mary-Louise Parker) starts growing and selling marijuana to make enough money to support her family after her husband's unexpected death leaves her in big debt.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Weeds, like its heroine Nancy Botwin, drastically reinvents itself to mixed results in its fourth season, upping the stakes to entertaining effect, but also losing the grounded reality that made its peaks so compelling.

Weeds: Season 4 | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Genevieve Koski AV Club With all the key players still in place, I'm hopeful that Weeds can maintain its skewed take on the drug trade in this new, seemingly livelier setting. Rated: A- Nov 19, 2018 Full Review Weeds: Season 4 | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Brian Lowry Variety As time passes, the series feels increasingly divorced not only from reality but genuine emotions, beyond simply finding wacky new situations in which to throw its players. Nov 19, 2018 Full Review Weeds: Season 4 | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Sal Cinquemani Slant Magazine The hurried pace of the season premiere is a little disorienting, but the show finds its footing by the next episode. Rated: 3/4 Jun 16, 2008 Full Review Weeds: Season 4 | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Matt Paproth PopMatters Weeds's most successful season away from Agrestic... It's funny throughout, and most of the major storylines click. Nov 19, 2018 Full Review Weeds: Season 4 | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Rob Owen Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Creator Jenji Kohan has smartly changed up the story, breathing new life into the series in the process. Jun 16, 2008 Full Review Weeds: Season 4 | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Cynthia Fuchs PopMatters The show is cleaved down its center, cutting awkwardly back and forth between Celia now imprisoned and Nancy fancy-free. Rated: 6/10 Jun 16, 2008 Full Review Read all reviews

Kasso M I thought it started strong with a refreshing new setting and tone, but this season didn't always hold my interest. It had its highs and lows. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Nancy is hot but she wears weird clothes. She bites her lip too much showing off her horse-teeth. Her son silas is an asshole but he gets cute in s4. Shane is a weirdo. He wanks to his mommas old photos. Everyone is funny and stupid. -Roseanne Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Season 4 of Weeds reinvents the series, and makes everything a little more interesting. Mary Louise Parker and Elizabeth Perkins give excellent performances. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review dylan w This is the season that began the series to go downhill. It's draggy and depressing and you just can't wait for the boring crap to be over. And where the heck is Conrad?? Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
