The suburbs have never been darker or funnier than in this buzz-worthy series from Showtime. To the outside world, Nancy Botwin (Mary Louise Parker, ANGELS IN AMERICA) appears to be an average mom still recovering from the death of her husband. But making a living as a single mom is tough, so Nancy does the most logical thing...and becomes a pot dealer. Surrounded by her cannabis-craving accountant (Kevin Nealon, SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE), her scheming friend (Elizabeth Perkins, BIG), and her slacker brother-in-law (Justin Kirk, FLANNEL PAJAMAS), Nancy attempts to support her family without arousing suspicion from the cops or her neighbors. In the acclaimed second season, her job gets that much harder when she discovers that her new boyfriend (Martin Henderson, SAVED!) is a DEA agent. Season two shows that the series has some famous fans with music's best singing the show's hilarious theme song, "Little Boxes," including Elvis Costello, Death Cab for Cutie, Jenny Lewis, and Regina Spektor. This release includes the second season in its entirety, including cast commentaries, trivia, and bloopers.

Review 1:
"Season 1 of Showtime's addictive comedy hooked us. With Season 2, we become seriously dependent, as the series descended into intriguingly murky territory." -- Grade: B+
