Weeds. The neighbourhood has gone green!

On its fourth year on air, TV Series "Weeds" has hit it big. It’s seen by a steadily growing number of people. Up to 1.3 million viewers last season, 400 thousand more the previous year. Although it’s broadcasted by pay-cable network, this weird drug-dealer life is followed by more and more “addicts” every day. You can follow it on Wednesdays late night on Cuatro.
Mari Lou Parker is the main character. She’s a mom of two that lost his husband unexpectedly and she faced life alone. To make ends meet, and to keep her living standards, she chooses selling marijuana in her neighbourhood. From one shocking experience to another, the story runs at high speed. They deal with high risks and amazing situations that make the spectator keep seated hung on it. It reminds that film set in England west coast called “Saving Grace” (translated “El Jardín de la Alegría” in the Spanish version film) where another widow becomes a drug dealer to be able to pay off her husband’s huge debts.
