Conception [ edit ] Ratings [ edit ] Weeds (TV series) The show is inspired by crime series such as The Shield and The Sopranos, in the sense of an antihero serving as the protagonist while retaining an individual moral code, which usually goes against the norms of society. The title, according to Kohan, refers "to a lot of things", including cannabis and widow's weeds; however, it mainly alludes to "hardy plants struggling to survive. " The basic premise, as illustrated by the lyrics of the opening song from the first three seasons as well its eighth, satirizes off-color characters struggling with faux suburban reality, in which everything is "all style, no substance".[1][8] According to Kohan, she first pitched the series to HBO, which dismissed it.

Robert Greenblatt invested in the show and Showtime later approved.[9] Jenji Kohan, whose credits include Tracey Takes On..., Mad About You, and Sex and the City, is the executive producer of the series, alongside Roberto Benabib, of Little City fame.[10][11] Season 8.
