Weedsâ Nancy Botwin began the show as a very sympathetic figure â newly widowed and left to figure out how to keep her family afloat while struggling with her own grief. But over the course of the showâs 8 seasons, a different, darker side of Nancy made itself more and more apparent. She remained entertaining to watch, but became harder and harder to side with. By leaning into her anti-hero nature, instead of pulling back and softening her edges, the show managed to create a portrait of a complex, messy woman and the more sinister sides of her personality that cause her to harm everyone around her in her quest for more. So, what does Nancyâs story really reveal about the reality of diving into the darkness to chase a high you can never really catch? Letâs take a deeper look.
