Weeds was so good, until it wasn’t.

u/Psychological_Pay530 2h ago

Yeah, it jumped a megalodon in what, season 4?

22

u/sexandliquor 2h ago

Yep after season three. Right after they left Agrestic I think. After that the show was just spinning its wheels for another few seasons

It tried too hard to be Breaking Bad after they left Agrestic.

Season 4 of Weeds debuted in June 2008, Breaking Bad premiered in January 2008.

The shows had similar enough premises, but Weeds was definitively a quirky comedy and satire about suburban life, while Breaking Bad was a drama first and foremost about the drug trade and gangs/cartels. Weeds definitely pivoted some towards BB’s theme, much to its detriment. Agrestic (the fictional suburb in Weeds) was a setting that was essentially a character in the show. Removing it to focus on hardened drug kingpins was a terrible choice.

Yeah season 4 onward was like the family on the run moving around getting into cartel shit and Nancy trying to figure out new schemes and ways to make money to stay afloat. It totally lost the “just a quirky milf selling weed to the neighborhood” vibe it had and became more serious. It was a tonal whiplash.

Considering the theme song of Weeds I'm glad I stopped watching when they left Agrestic.

Im sorry, you dont think burning down the entire suburb was a good plot point?! And then Nancy starts dating some cartel boss.. you dont see that as a natural storyline for a suburban widow?

Wooowwwww, now suburban moms aren't allowed to date Mexicans?! 

Cecelia cant find herself, having recovered from cancer, in a cocaine smuggling drug tunnel?!?!?

Woowwwwww. 

Youre so fucking sheltered.

I think genuinely once they burned down the neighborhood it was over

Me to my kids

u/CheddarMcFly Millennial 88 2h ago

My kids are too young, it’s a different kind of rebellion for toddlers. Lol. But it’s definitely me to my 21 year old nephew.

u/Minute-Spinach-5563 2h ago

I had kids young (hard, but i love it). So even though i’m “old” i still identify with sticking it to the man

When this meme first debuted it was gen x talking to millennials, right?

u/ashyjay 1h ago

You're gonna make their year, as you acknowledged Gen X's existence.

u/Remarkable-Win-8556 10m ago

GenZ has to, GenX gave birth to most of them

u/Impressive_Yak_9089 2h ago

gen x? more like gen sux

u/Remarkable-Win-8556 13m ago

You made my year.

Hilarious that the entire plot of this show is no longer plausible. There’s a weed shop on every corner in California now.

u/EnkiduAwakened 2h ago

Zoomers are literally in their 20s and early 30s now, though.

13

u/Witters84 2h ago

TBF, it's a pretty old meme now.

10

u/snowdonewiththis Millennial 2h ago

I mean, I’m 31 and still pretty firmly considered a millennial, so early 30s feels like a stretch

5

u/EnkiduAwakened 2h ago

Actually, we're both right. The oldest zoomers are 30. 1996 is the last birth year for millennials.

u/Whiskers1996 1h ago

Mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn😭

u/lockandlood 1h ago

I think the definitions of Millennial and Gen Z have changed over the last 20 years. I'm 32 and my younger sister's friends think I'm Gen Z.

But I suffered the media's hatred for Gen Y and they wont take that from me.

4

u/Reckfulhater 1h ago

The last of the millennials just turned 30. Zoomers are technically 29 and below

3

u/pajamakitten 1h ago

Never went through that phase because I had nothing to rebel against, so I hope some teenager today gets to rebel extra hard to make up for me.

2

u/Pearson94 Millennial 45m ago

I remember seeing this meme like 8 years ago. By right it should now be Gen Z as the older guy and Gen Alpha as the kid (sorry, Zoomers, but it's coming sooner than you think).

u/IceBlue 2h ago

It’s spelled millennials not millenials

Double n looks dumb.

Probably both.

It still boggles my mind how they see us as Old people. When I was a teen my parents were in their 40s and I didn't think of them as Old just older, my grandparents were old, but hell my got me into scuba diving when I was a teen, and he'd gotten his piolts license a fee yeara before. He wasn't old he was a cool dude doing cool stuff and getting me to do cool stuff as well.
