Subject: Weeds

Summary:
An American comedy/drama about a newly widowed mother of two, selling marijuana to make a living.

Significance:

This series, is spoof of the American Upper class showing their hypocrisy and making fun of the American suburbs and their lifestyle.

The main character is an excellent example of one of the housewives. Once the money making husband is dead, she does not want to get a job, instead she wants to make a lot of money really fact like every American. Thus she begins to sell weed. Throughout the series she gets caught and is placed in several life or death situations. Even though this happens she never gives up and still wants to make a quick buck.

Nonetheless this series is a play of the American lifestyle and how spoilt they are. The mentality is that if you are not in a huge house with a load of money and your wife is not working staying home with the kids, and you cant go to Cuba every year . You are a useless middle/lower class person.
