Mary Louise Parker is best remembered for her great performance in the TV mini-series of Tony Kushner’s Angels in America, for which she received a Golden Globe and an Emmy Award for Best Supporting Actress. Angels in America is perhaps one of the most mind-blowing mini-series I have ever seen. Aside from Mary Louise Parker, the TV mini series has a wonderful cast. Al Pacino, who knows he is going to die despite the secret stash of AZT in his private hospital fridge, finally flips his histrionic lid. Mary Louise plays Harper, who is strung out on Valium, causing her to constantly hallucinate, sometimes jointly with another character, Prior. She longs to escape from her sexless marriage. As the film continues, all the lost souls come together to create bounds of love, loss and loneliness and, in the end, discover forgiveness and overcome abandonment.

When you first see the opening credits for the latest TV sensation called Weeds you will most likely think that this show is going to be just a little bit lame.
