Weeds ran on Showtime from 2005 to 2012, and while the show was relatively consistent, some seasons were better than others. Each season faces its successes and struggles within the overall series arc. After the success of Weeds season 1, the show had to continuously reinvent itself to stay relevant and keep the premise interesting. Much of what carries the series are the performances of the main cast and the unexpected plot twists, although some seasons did this better than others. Weeds was canceled on season 8.
