Weeds: Is Nancy Botwin the most selfish character in history?

[BEER]

I've been binge watching Weeds and Nancy is legitimately the most selfish and unlikeable lead I've ever seen in a show or movie. I think the show is fun for a lot of the other characters, but that piece of shit just makes me want to jump off a roof.

Watch Game of Thrones.

Season 1 Sansa will have you tearing your hair out.

I couldn't even make it through the first episode. Fantasy isn't for me.

I would say Uncle Andy or Doug had her beat.
That show gets lost in its own ass worse than later seasons of Dexter. Get out while you can.

She's a cunt for sure. I also couldn't stand Tony Soprano's kids AJ&Meadow.

I've seen it before. So it's not news to me.

No way Andy or Doug are worse than Nancy though. I feel like the show would have been much better if it made Nancy pay for her actions in more meaningful ways. She's a straight up sociopath.

That show was weird. Pretty much any part that wasn't comedy fucking sucked, but the comedy was pretty damn funny.

The first one is a rich spoiled child. Her entitlement isn't really her fault.

The second one is some domestic shit.

Nancy just straight up does what she wants, who she wants, when she wants and then insists on dragging her children along for the ride. That's some next level shit.

Agreed. The soap elements are really fucking grating, but the cast always brought excellent comedy throughout.

Breaking Bad is literally right there staring at this thread. Chem Teacher did everything Housewife did plus a whole lot of grevious shit. Even though he had a legitimate out.

Breaking Bad would beat out Weeds for me if Walter White were the worst guy on the show. He's constantly pitted against worst people.

Nancy is the one who knocks.

When I saw that movie as a child, she was the most selfish character I'd had ever seen. Call that choice a sentimental one, I suppose.

George's mother is horrendous.

Admittedly I never watched Weeds. You could be right.

I mean, you can start from the very first episode in which you're introduced to a widowed housewife, mother of two children, who decided to start selling weed for income instead of finding a normal job to raise her children.

It only gets worse from there.

I thought the sixth season was the final season but there are two more.

Pray for me.

Not a lead character but this bitch is the most selfish character in history.

She was a bit generous with sexual relations and nudity. She's quite pretty too.

She's got crazy eyes and her crazy pussy got people killed.

Couldn't stand weeds after season 2 and had to stop. Nancy was one of the main reasons.
