Weeds, Season 3: Not as Potent?

Throughout break I've been watching Weeds: Season 3 on Showtime on Demand and finished it up the other day.
I love love loved the first and second seasons but overall season 3 was not as good. There was way too much gangster stuff in this season. I realize that this stuff is probably the most realistic the show has been in terms of life as a drug dealer or whatever, but still... it seemed like every time she turned around, Nancy's life was being seriously threatened by a Mexican or Lithuanian or some guy named U-Turn.

Plus everybody knows now! Nancy's kids know, Celia knows, even Silas's Christian girlfriend (poorly acted by Mary Kate Olsen) knows--and ends up dealing! So it's not so sneaky-in-a-funny-way anymore.

Aaaaand Nancy was kinda slutty this season! The Christian neighborhood developer, the Mexican ganglord, Conrad, etc. I do not think Judah would approve.

But the whole Majestic absorbing Agrestic thing was pretty entertaining. And that episode where Shane thought he could see Judah's ghost was a good one. And oh my God Kevin Nealon is hilarious as Doug, rejoining the city council and then sending up a sewage fountain at the Majestic press conference. Oh and Andy as the foot-porn star!

Now that I think about it, it was actually pretty good--just not quite as good as the first two seasons. Luckily they have next season to make it up to me. Is it summer yet?
