It was pretty good until they left the suburbs (Nancy was still pretty awful, though, so your point stands). After that, it was like they tried to re-tool the show into a narco-novella and failed hard.
Fair enough. I tried to think of one character in Weeds who was alright, and I guess it was just Isabella (a minor character that may as well have been a lamp in the background). I guess Heylia also had her head screwed on right, but she was also a minor character.
But yeah, I agree with that about irredeemable characters with the sole exception of “It’s Always Sunny…”. They’re more caricatures of terrible people, IMO, so I guess that’s what makes it work.
Also, he was great on 30 Rock.
Thank you for helping jog my memory, it’s been so long since I’d watched I didn’t know who he was on the show!
I’ve watched the whole thing through twice. It really was a brilliant show.
Wasn’t he also on Weeds as Nancy Botwins sole bakery employee?
He was!
I don’t remember. I couldn’t get into that show. She was too awful.

I just have a lot of trouble with shows where everyone is irredeemable.
