I have gotten so attached to the characters. I almost stopped watching it during the first season because I wasn't sure I liked the Selfridge character. I have followed Jeremy Piven's acting career for years and it is nice to see him in something worth his acting talent. He really stretched himself in Selfridge.

I didn't care for this at first but as I read I began to really enjoy it.

ON first viewing, I found myself underwhelmed, but am not sure why. Maybe it's burnout. Been following this series almost my whole life, after all. Oh, I fell in love with Clara -- as one is supposed to do. And got cross with the Doctor, as one is supposed to do. But... is the thrill gone? I may have to watch again to find out for certain.

I enjoyed it well enough, but I did not like the main character.  She was acerbically herself, and I found her commitment to what she saw as freedom as self-indulgent and difficult.  Her defense of her personality was as one dimensional as she thought everyone else.  It had a few twists and surprises, but her rigidity and closed, self-centered position were tiring to me.

My interest in this shown dropped after the first season. Show was better when main character was pretending to be a cop imho.

I don't like the main character but I'm intrigued and morbidly fascinated nonetheless.

I like many others was thrilled to hear of its release, but unlike so many, I was not as impressed as I remember being when I first saw it.  I thought the episodes had funny parts and I remember the references, but it just wasn't there for me this time.

If you have doubts about getting it, with the benefit of hindsight, I would say pass.  I wish I had spent my money on so many other things than this.

Then again the majority did think it was great, so in terms of opinion, they clearly beat me.

Loved the first season, had a mixed reaction to season two, but thought that this season was just awful. My main problem with the show is that it doesn't see that it is some lowbrow soap opera, but because of it's two talented leads and high production value it takes it self so seriously and thinks its gonna go down as one of the greats, when it is far from the greatness of The Sopranos, The Wire, Mad Men, Breaking Bad, The West Wing, etc. The character of Frank Underwood is just becoming repetitive, we get it, you are evil. And the writing is just lazy since it seems like Frank and Claire have no reasonable enemies, and everything happens wayyyyy to easy for them. My final problem of the season is that they are trying to take Frank Underwood, a character who was introduced as an evil self serving sociopath and now they wanna make you feel bad for him and the pressures of being in office when the character is clearly servicing himself.

I did not watch the series when it was originally broadcast, and I loved it once I finally saw it.

I saw that Season 3 of Weeds had come out recently, and was tempted to purchase it as I had thoroughly enjoyed Seasons 1 and 2.  However, since I own way too many DVDs that I will never watch again, I opted to be patient and Netflix it instead.  I'm so glad I didn't buy this, as it will never get a repeated viewing from me.

There was an excellent cliff-hanger at the end of Season Two, although if the truth be told, even by that point things were getting a little too crazy in the show (but I was still left completely engaged).  After the first couple of episodes of Season 3, however, I started to get a sinking feeling.  It turned into a show about gangsters and thugs, and was a far cry from the 'soccer Mom who deals pot in suburbia' that the series began as.  Sure, there are still some funny parts, and I guess they were enough to make me get through the Season (but just barely), but even Doug and Andy's antics became a little too unbearable and ridiculous to fully enjoy.  There are so many plot twists that simply don't make sense, and many subplots that don't go anywhere and have no place in the series (what the heck did Andy's stint in the Army have to do with ANYTHING?).  Issues get 'resolved' in the most ludicrous ways; it almost feels like the writers want the show to be dumb.  I feel the show 'jumps the shark' a million times and becomes too unrealistic to take seriously.  As another reviewer stated, sometimes the show feels almost 'cartoony'.

I was glad after the last episode was done.  It was a hard watch, but for some reason I felt I had to see it through until the end.  For me the season finale felt like it wrapped the entire series up, and I don't care where Nancy goes now that Agrestic is up in flames.  I am done with Weeds, and I will not watch Season 4.  It's really a shame to know that a series that started off so strong sunk so low.  But this seems to be the trend all too often.

As for the DVD quality itself, of course the picture and sound are excellent.  I can't comment on commentaries or other special features, as I had no interest in watching/listening to them.

I had missed this series when it first released because I just didn't have time for television.  I don't care for the opening music of the show, nor the fact that the lighting is always do dark.  What I do like and enjoy is how such a mismatch of characters are able to find a way to work as a team to perform tasks that none of them work be able to even considered.  All of the characters are flawed and leave much to be desired.  None could be considered a role model.  It is the collective whole that is the role model of how to interact with others.

I didn't think I would like Capaldi as the Doctor but he kind of grew on me after I got past the earlier episodes.

I enjoined the first season. I just started this show and this firs season is fun. I see where this show could be good or it can lose it's self and go off the rails. I hope not, but only time will tell.

After hearing about this show for many years, I finally sat down to watch.  The first episode was a bit off-putting for me.  There were a lot of characters & not a lot of continuity.  But, I'm glad I stuck with it for episode #2 & beyond.  I'm totally hooked.

I'd heard so much about this serie but wasn't very interested. I bought the first episode of season 1 and fell asleep on it lol. HOWEVER, a friend told me to watch the first five episodes (had to buy the whole season) so I could get a good understanding of what it was about before I decided and now I'm hooked. I even subscribed to HBO to watch season 6. It's a really interesting series.

I think I started watching this originally during the second or third season. I've watched the first ten episodes of the first season so far and have enjoyed them. It's interesting to see how budgets went up as the show progressed. Special effects are few in the early shows.

The characters grew on me rapidly and I have found it compulsively watchable even though I am normally not a binge watcher.
