Stinky Weeds

I had read about this show "Weeds" (on Showtime, I think) about a newly widowed single mom who lives in the California 'burbs, and sells pot to maintain her standard of living. I'd heard it was edgy, hip, irreverant, envelope-pushing, and creative. It is all those things--as long as all of those things add up to a big pile of crap. I wasted two slots in my Netflix queue on this trash. I understand the whole concept of satire, willful suspension of disbelief, etc., but this is a perfect example of why "edgy" doesn't always equal "smart."
