San Francisco Chronicle Tim Goodman

Kohan and her writers deserve perhaps more credit than they're getting for forcing change and making it artistically compelling.

New York Daily News David Hinckley

It remains one of the best.

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Rob Owen

Even as the show deals with serious issues--immigration, euthanasia--Weeds feels lighter and funnier in the new season.

Slant Magazine Sal Cinquemani

Season four curiously picks up exactly where last season left off, providing little explanation for Shane's sudden growth spurt and the body mass indexes of several other characters, and the hurried pace of the season premiere, "Mother Thinks the Birds Are After Her," is a little disorienting, but the show finds its footing by the next episode.

Entertainment Weekly Missy Schwartz

Ditching the tired suburban backdrop might prove to be just the creative shake-up Weeds needs after an overly wacked-out season 3. [20 June 2008, p.60]

Philadelphia Inquirer Jonathan Storm

The wonderful Weeds is back for its fourth season at 10 p.m. Monday, as our deliriously delightful dope dealers decamp to a beach town by the Mexican border. As illicit activities go, they prove definitively that, on Showtime at least, a little wacky tobbacky is way more fun than the things they do in Diary that can't be described here.

PopMatters Cynthia Fuchs

Celia is facing some judgment of her own this season. Her not-entirely separate saga makes up the other half of Weeds‘ new start, such that the show is cleaved down its center, cutting awkwardly back and forth between Celia now imprisoned and Nancy fancy-free.

Newsday Verne Gay

I think I comprise a third type--a wary Weeds fan who's happy it's back but hardly ecstatic.

Chicago Tribune Maureen Ryan

Though it’s not a bad idea to shake up a show heading into its fourth year, the first few episodes of the new season feel joyless and off.

The New York Times Ginia Bellafante

Weeds no longer seems propelled by the will to subvert all of our cultural images of maternal perfection; it seems insistent on celebrating Nancy’s parental fecklessness and narcissism, asking us to refrain from judgments when all we want to do now is throw stones.

Paul C gave it a3:
This show has been dreadful since the S2 finale. This season shows signs of improvement, but it's long since passed it's prime.

Ken H. gave it a9:
The first 2 episodes of this new season are better than ever. The writers like super dark humor and some folks just are not going to get the jokes. The cast is great and even the younger actors are delvering with better success than previous seasons.

C.B. gave it an8:
So far... so good. Albert Brooks is a great addition.
