While this show has been recommended to me by a friend over and over again, I never bothered to look into watching it, since I'm strongly anti-drug and never even "experimented" in my rebellious stage. Having said that, I was shocked to find that this is one of the more original, highly entertaining, darkly funny shows on the air.
While I certainly sympathize, though not empathize, with Mary Louise-Parker's charater and the plight she finds herself in as a suburban widow with no employment skills turned pot dealer to support her family, personally, I think Elizabeth Perkins steals the show as the ultimate repressed and small-minded suburban housewife, miserable with her lot in life, who speaks her mind and hopes to make everyone else as miserable as she is. I can't wait to see the next 4 seasons!
