The Perfect Cast

We Live in Agrestic

Posted in Rants by Brandon J. Huffman on September 7, 2010

For those of you who aren’t fans, or don’t have Showtime, Agrestic is the name of the fictional community on Weeds.  Weeds is a show about a widow in Los Angeles who, in order to make her house payment, sells marijuana.  The beauty of the premise, especially in the earlier seasons, was that her story was set in this yuppy suburb where everyone was too self-absorbed to notice that their neighbor might have been up to some criminal activity.

The point is, we live in that community now.  See for your self:

The intro sequence for Weeds:

The view from our window:

Some shots from around the ‘burbs:

   

…more little boxes going in. 

…and what they will probably look like when done. 

And lastly, some of the silly names they give to neighborhoods [compare to Agrestic and Majestic]:

   

It’s all pretty absurd.
