Weeds: Putting the Herb in Suburb

In the dark comedy Weeds, Mary-Louise Parker plays suburban California housewife Nancy Botwin who resorts to selling marijuana to maintain her lifestyle and keep her young family together after the untimely death of her husband. In season 1 she's a newbie, learning the game. By the end of season 1 Nancy is the Godfather of Grass, organizing a "family" of growers, sellers, and moneymen. Season 2 follows a story arc of extreme success to extreme distress as Nancy learns that the new man in her bed is a DEA agent and that her competition plays rough.

I'm looking forward to season 3 but I haven't found it available here on dvd.
