Color me a bit surprised when I find out one of the Olsen twins is going to be on Weeds, one of my favorite shows.
Even better, she’s going to be part of a “newly-developed mega-church community called Majestic,” which is just outside of “Agrestic,” the name of the suburb in the show. Which, by the way, is actually Stevenson Ranch and part of the Santa Clarita Valley just north of L.A.
Weeds is one of the most well-written shows on television, and creator Jenji Kohan has proved his talent for bringing all the pieces needed for a quality television show together. The show is so good, in fact, I’m going to give him the benefit of the doubt that Mary-Kate Olsen is as good a fit for the show as Kohan says. About Mary-Kate, Kohan says, “Audiences have seen only one side of Mary-Kate but here, we’ll see her in a whole new light.”
I’m very excited to see what season 3 of Weeds has in store and just how exactly a mega-church will be displayed in this most excellent television series on Showtime.
About Jenji Kohan: he’s a she.

Oops.
Thanks for correcting me on that! There are so few women creators of shows compared to men that I assumed I would’ve heard specifically about her if Weeds were created by a woman.
That’s what I get for assuming.
