Weeds is an American television comedy on the Showtime cable network created by Jenji Kohan. The central character is Nancy Botwin (Mary-Louise Parker), a widowed mother of two boys who begins selling marijuana to support her family after her husband abruptly dies. Over the course of the show, she and her family become more entangled in illegal activities.

The primary locale of the first three seasons are the fictional town of Agrestic, California. By seasons four and five, it takes place in the fictional beachside of Ren Mar. During the sixth season, the family relocates to Seattle, Washington before moving to Dearborn, Michigan.

The show debuted on the network on August 7, 2005, earning the channel's highest ratings, and the debut of the fifth season had 1.3 million viewers. Among the awards the show has earned include two Satellite Awards, one Golden Globe Award, Writers Guild of America Award, Young Artist Award, and an Emmy Award.

The Weeds Season 6 finale was more than just the conclusion to another season of Weeds; it was the culmination of six seasons of moral depravity, where each Botwin had a chance to finally evolve into something much more. Criminals resurfaced. Anti-heroes made amends. Killers found a conscience. And, lost souls found purpose and a family. Season 6 was not without its share of speed bumps along the way to an outstanding emotional finale. Between the escape to Seattle and the introduction of Nancy’s high-school math teacher Warren Schiff (Richard Dreyfuss), viewers were stuck with mediocre soul-searching filler episodes. However, the final three episodes made us realize that Jenji Kohan, like Michael Jordan, still delivers the game winning three-point shot at the buzzer.
