Weeds: Complete Collection
If you don't own "Weeds" on blu-ray yet, then this will likely be your best and cheapest option (rather than buying the seasons individually). But if you already own some or all of the seasons, you'll have to decide whether or not its worth it to upgrade to this set. There are two advantages to owning this set: First, there are four new special features (including a cast roundtable) that are only available on this Complete Collection. Second, the discs come inside "glowing" acrylic packaging that collectors may want to own.
This show is a somewhat polarizing one: some people really love it, others really dislike it. If you've never seen "Weeds", I'd suggest you sample it before purchasing this complete set. If you have Netflix, the entire show is available there. In my opinion, the show fluctuates in quality season to season - but at its best it makes for great television.

Great packaging!!!
This was a great purchase for the entire series on Blu-ray. The glowing case is amazing and the packaging of the discs is very well done as a scrapbook of the entire 8 seasons. It's a book full of pictures, art, and episode synopsis. The only con is that the discs themselves are a little hard to remove from their safety sleeves that make up each page. Overall great deal!!!
Dumbest disk storage booklet ever!
The show is of course excellent. The 1-star rating is dedicated to incompetent design of the booklet for storing disks. This disks slide sideways out of the book pages and the opening is much smaller that the disk, so the only way to get them out is to grab the disk from both sides with fingers (I don't recommend pliers) and pull them out. The disks cannot be easily taken out, you have to apply a lot of force to slide them out and risk cracking. If they don't crack, you have to wipe the disks from your finger marks (I had a wiping cloth next to me while I was watching the show). Similarly, you can't easily put the disks back in.
It's unbelievable that someone could design a booklet like this. This is just dumb! If you don't want to crack or otherwise damage the disks, it could be best to extract the disks once and store them elsewhere. Then what's the point of having a booklet?
