Nancy Botwin, on the exterior, is a typical upper-middle class suburban mother. She flaunts a designer handbag knock-off, reads a fashion magazine while sitting under a tent during her son’s soccer game, harbors an addiction to lattes, and… deals weed?
This blog seeks to analyze the Showtime series Weeds, and specifically themes surrounding main character Nancy Botwin. Topics that will be covered include (but are not limited to) the role of gender in drug dealing, Nancy’s addictions, and the various other “weeds” in Nancy’s life, Additionally, the significance of non-diegetic music utilized by the show will be explored. This blog not only serves as a class project, but as an exercise in the dissemination of a popular medium through a sociological lens by a fledgling media critic, student, and fan.
