Wondered about the movie preview?


The intro to the movie sets the tone for what you are about to watch - the drama that you can expect, some of the characters, the places you will visit and see in the show.

What I love about these and I am really addicted to watching the intro's or title sequences, they have really subtle clues as the goings on, and when you have watched parts of the show it becomes evident where this sequences come from. 

One of my favorites is a Television show called  "Weeds"   - When a suburban mother turns to dealing marijuana in order to maintain her ... drama series told of Nancy Botwin (Mary-Louise Parker), a widowed mother of two ... and Alexander Gould) - who begins selling marijuana to support her family.  

The opening sequence is this suburban map/layout of an estate of houses, a place called "Agrestic"  where  all the houses look the same.


The symbol of  the "Fleur-de-Lis" does not go amiss,  as legend has it shows the French Royalty and to signifies the sense of light, purity and the perfect life  

The people they all look the same, have the same luxury lifestyle. The folk all go to the same school, university,  drive the same type of car and generally seem to have the same type of "humdrum" life.
It leaves you feeling how can this be, in this upmarket town how can there be these shenanigans?

 How can marijuana be involved? Why would the people who have this perfect lifestyle, want to be involved with marijuana?
