Nancy Botwin from “Weeds”

When I see Mary-Louise Parker’s portrayal of drug dealing soccor mom Nancy Botwin, the first thing which pops into my head is a drunk Bambi. In the first season, her wide-eyed foray into the world of weed dealing was cute. Now, I have a nearly irrestiable urge to put her out of her misery. Don’t get me wrong, I liked the show when it started but over the last few seasons, Nancy just seemed to get into more and more bizarrely dangerous situations (that she got her sons involved with). Where are social services? I don’t think Nancy is a bad mom, but she is bordering on insantity.

Mary-Louise Parker’s bewildered portrayal is now wearing thin with me.
