absorbing, hilarious, wonderful production values, interesting deja vue that isn’t, very hip dialogue, not as deep as Breaking Bad but funnier. 10/01/09
Hands down the best premium channels show. Even though I don’t smoke pot I still find it very enteraining with great writing and plot twists. With Kevin Nealon and Justin Kirk in the cast the show is frickin halirous!!!! I hope the show never ends!!!! Showtime you rock, but I still think you canceled Brotherhood prematurely.
I saw the season finale of Weeds last night. However, it looked more like a series finale. Has the show been canceled?
