Meanwhile, Chloe and Guillermo are put to the test in the fast-paced, high-stakes world of the ER after being re-assigned there by the arrogant new head of ICU.

The friendship of three nurses is spotlighted in this NBC dramedy. Through their eyes the audience will see life inside a hospital as it has never been seen before. The show also explores the personal lives of these three nurses and their relationship with the outside world. Mercy is produced by… More Universal Media Studios and Berman Braun.

Better than nothing... hide show
When I was younger, someone told me that America did not have a caste system. I think there is and this is proof. The gold standard in medical TV drama today is Gray's Anatomy. It's not very realistic but it tries to push the borders of human behavior (on screen and off screen). Mercy is the second tier of the same kind of drama, like junior varsity of medical TV. In real life nurses are treated like second tier medical professionals too, but that's a topic for another place ;) After seeing the big chunk of this season's episodes, there is nothing special about this show. There is plenty of pretty, skinny, people and a few classic stereotypes. This is a nurse oriented drama, but most of the time in real life nurses spend most of the time nurses do paperwork (doctors too) and that's not fun to watch. So their social lives are the focus. Nothing is new that hasn't been covered in hundreds of soap operas though. I think I watch this because it's the best thing to watch in its time slot. Thanks for not falling asleep...
Great show, portraying the interesting nurse-patient, nurse-physican relationships and the lives behind these important members of the health care team. hide show
As a nurse, I recognize that this is not the most medically correct show out there, but I think it does a great job of showing the interesting qualities of nurse-patient relationships and it does a great job of painting nurses in a light that shows they are not just passive followers of doctor's orders. You can say it's a copy of nurse Jackie, but having watched all episodes of both, this show definitely has a different and unique feel to it. From episode one, I was engaged with each of the characters and I hope that it's able to continue for another season!
Mercy is a good show and YOU ALL SHOULD STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT IT AND GIVE IT A SHOT!!!! hide show
Mercy is a show about three nurses, Veronica Callahan, Sonia Jimenez and Chloe Payne, it has solid storyline even though I agree the story lines are moving a bit to fast, but, that is no reason to complain about the show, who cares if it is like Nurse Jackie, it's still good and you should be lucky yo have it. The people who attack Mercy are just upset about how ER is over and no new medical drama can fill it's spot, GET OVER IT. Mercy is good and you should watch it a give it more of a chance, you may even like it. =]
Psycologically damaged nurses act out and break the law while attmpting to bring insights and healing to the patients the treat. hide show
I'm not sure why we should care about these women. The two experienced nurses in the show seems to be damaged goods that you know the writer's want you to like but they give us very little reason to like them and very little reason to believe that they can be good nurses by continually acting out and outright breaking the law Ex: Throwing a cinder block through a car window and stealing drugs and performing medical acts in their kitchen in order to avoid reporting a GSW. The situations these characters find themselves in seem totally contrived, probably no more so than those on any other show but just more obviously so in order to show what terrible burdens they have o bear and to try to tell us that we should like these women just because of the burdens. Well, I don't like them because of the way the bear those burdens and I think that while some people may well respond to adversity in the ways that these women do, these kinds of response should not be shown as "normal" thereby encouraging others to react in the same unhealthy ways. Mercy: Heal thyself!
Medicore at best. I smell a Greys Anatomy, Private Practice, Nurse Jackie and Hawthorne ripoff!
This show is supposed to be one of NBCs' new hit shows but at best it will tide over Nurse Jackie and Hawthorne fans until these BETTER nursing drama shows return after being renewed during their mid-summer season with 13 episode pickups with the potential for more to come afterwards. However I will not be one of these people. It is a bad ripoff of Nurse Jackie(which isn't to great but its not bad, its second season will determine its' faith however I believe Mercys' fate sealed its self during its pilot) and I like the real thing, not cheap versions that are not worth my time. I'll give the show a chance however its' chances are slim to none when it comes to surviving the season. What I did like about it was Michelle Tranchtenburg, and that is just about this shows only saving grace.
Please take my word for it and stay away. IT is a waste of time.
