While Dexter tends to use its stunt casting to fill the subtle if predictable variations to its established formula, these days its Showtime sister Weeds clings to its various guest stars like lifelines, each new face another wacky character that can help provide a wild new subplot to distract from the show’s ever-increasing distance from its original concept. The upcoming seventh season of the Mary-Louise Parker-starring show gets even further away from its “suburban pot-dealing mom” origins—three years away, in fact, as it jumps forward in time from last season’s (admittedly, surprisingly solid) story about the Botwin family on the lam, with Nancy finishing up a three-year prison sentence. She’s now living in a New York City halfway house under the watchful eye of The Boondocks’ Gary Anthony Wiliams, and attempting to restart her business with the help of Pablo Schreiber (The Wire, Lights Out), who is the brother of her former cellmate. We’ll pause here so you can construct a flowchart.
