Weeds: Season One(TV) (2005)
Featuring an all-star cast including Golden Globe-winner Mary-Louise Parker, Elizabeth Perkins and Kevin Nealon, "Weeds" examines family life in the suburban neighborhood of Agrestic, California, where recently widowed Nancy Botwin (Parker) is finding it hard to make ends meet while raising her two sons. Left with more family debt than expected, Nancy embarks on a new career as a pot dealer to pay the bills. As her business grows, she has to hide her new career from her family and her best friend, PTA president Celia Hodes (Perkins). In the neighborhood of Agrestic, nothing is what it seems.

For some odd reason, the first two episodes looked downright horrible. Blacks appeared to be gray and the entire image had a "washed out" quality to it. Grain was ever present. Colors were dull and lifeless. From episode three on, however, I noticed a drastic improvement. Colors were richer with some life and pizzazz that they certainly lacked in the early episodes. Blacks fared better as well, though they were far from perfect, still a shade of very dark gray rather than black. The image retained a rather soft look to it, and the grain, for the mot part, vanished without a trace. The image lacked any depth at all, however. Flesh tones looked fairly accurate with no trace of the dreaded reddish tint. When the show manages to look good, it looks really good. Detail was moderately high in the better looking scenes. I never saw this show as it originally aired on television, but comparing it to another Showtime series on Blu-ray, Masters of Horror, Weeds is a mild letdown. While I didn't feel that Masters of Horror fared all that well visually, it's still the better looking of the two shows by a small margin. Simply put, Weeds fares no better than a good upconverted DVD. Weeds: Season One Blu-ray, Audio QualityWeeds: Season One lacks a true high definition soundtrack. A 1.5 Mbps DTS track and a lower bit rate Dolby Digital track are all that are available. Frankly, I wonder if anything more would have made any discernible difference with this mix as-is. This is perhaps the most front-heavy soundtrack I've heard, but that's not really a fault of the disc. This is a dialogue driven half hour TV comedy and there is practically no instance where any sound came from the rear. Even the left and right front speakers failed to deliver much of a punch. The vast majority of the sound emanates from the center channel. As expected, bass was a no-show as well. The track's only real opportunity to shine was during scenes with music, especially bass heavy rap. Channel separation was fine and bass nudged its way into the track for a brief appearance. Like the video quality, the audio is sufficient but nothing special. Weeds: Other SeasonsBlu-ray bundles with Weeds: Season One (1 bundle)
