Weeds is a not well-known TV show on Showtime that just started up its fifth season a few weeks ago.

Oh yea, by “not well-known” I sarcastically mean “wildly popular show that I just got into so go ahead and give me a late pass.” Over the last week and a half I’ve mowed through the first three seasons and now in the middle of watching the fourth.

Needless to say this is a brilliantly written and cleverly acted series that you need in your life. During my recent marathon run of episode watching, I caught this monologue that is a far cry from Theo and Heathcliff’s game of Monopoly from about 20 years ago.

Another reason I love the show is the stellar music choices that set the scenes perfectly. Usually I could give two pumps about indie music and Pitchforkian tunes, but I’ve been playing the first season’s soundtrack pretty consistently over the last week.

Don’t be alarmed if the opening theme makes you want to burst out in a rendition of “Little Boxes” while sounding like the candle holder from Beauty and the Beast.
