Short Attention Span Review: "Weeds" 6/29

I'm a fan of this show. Don't get me wrong.

That said: Too many plots going on at one time to cram into a 30-minute space. No fewer than five story threads, all of them done a disservice by the quantity. What happened to the cop? We're left to assume. How did the dirty cop working with Silas and Doug come back into the equation? I dunno, but the old woman's "asswhore" comment was classic. And then there's Andy off on a mission to steal Judah's money - and then he has to pretend to be Judah and have sex with the bank teller. And Shane getting duped by his pot-thieving teacher. And where's the disappearing Sucio? And there's Celia! All of this, crammed into 30 minutes. It's just too much.

Make the show longer.
