What I'm Watching: Weeds

Weeds: Season 4, Episode 9 "Little Boats" (B+)

This is a terrific episode to follow up on last week's great installment. Nancy's dual-meaning conversation with both of her sons about an Oedipal complex is hilarious and all three actors play it incredibly well. I'm a huge fan of Esteban, who may well be Nancy's most dangerous boyfriend, but he is rather charming and a very likable character for a corrupt politician in the drug business. Lisa and Silas I can do without, as it's clear that's heading nowhere good, but the praise for good coyote El Andy makes the whole episode more than worthwhile.
