Weeds - Season 2

The second season builds off the first perfectly, and by the end you can't help but be impressed by the skill with which they balance the humor and the twisting plot. The first season at least had vestiges of a sitcom, as Nancy dealt pot while balancing everything else in her life. But the story in season two makes it a full blown serial. In order to branch out, she decides to make a grow house with her friends she's made in the business. She also has to figure out how to manage a boyfriend in an inconvenient line of work. There's more family trouble, and Silas reveals himself to be not just a jerk but also a horrible, selfish bastard. Andy has multiple schemes to get out of his military obligation, and Shane sees a change in his public image.

One thing in the series that deserves mention that I haven't brought up yet is the choice of music. When I was getting used to it it seemed a bit annoying like the selections in Juno, but I grew to like all the obscure songs they found that fit the scene perfectly. Most of them are enjoyable to listen to as well. Another thing is Kevin Nealon. He only plays a secondary character, but like he always is, he's usually pretty funny, and the developments in his feud subplot with Celia are great. I've already jumped into the third season, because this is one addicting show.
