With her world crumbling down, Jackie tries for damage control. But after losing Kevin's trust, he starts uncovering her lies.
Comedy meets drama in this quirky Showtime offering which spotlights the versatility of actress Edie Falco. Set in a New York City hospital, this half-hour single camera comedy is about a strong-willed woman balancing a hectic work life with a complex personal life, all the while fighting the… More health care system along the way.
Well this is the first episode to be seen without Haaz Sleiman playing Mo-Mo. I'll be the first to admit that I was upset when they announced his character had "run its course" I'm not sure what the network means by that but for me he adds a great deal to the show. But even if you take out that I… More get thoroughly annoyed when show's change something like that without hardly a reference. Jackie makes a SLIGHT reference to him. To me that's not enough. I hope something is mentioned further down the line. Even more so the show without Mo-Mo was....weird. I still liked the episode dont get me wrong. However it almost felt naked without his colorful attitude and way of looking at things. What does everybody else think? Was it just me that felt the episode lacked something?
Wow, that was a great episode, famous last words 'Blow Me'.
The new season has just begun, but after scoring records ratings for their second season premieres, Showtime has renewed Nurse Jackie and United States of Tara for a third season :)! Source
Simply Stated: Underrated hide show
This show has all the makings of a great series. I don't understand however how it is getting such low ratings from other TV.com users and as I read the other reviews it seems to be the same consensus throughout. This show has characters with depth, it has a story line placed in a hospital comedic drama that I've never seen before. It's a different side of the spectrum. The bad nurse so to speak. The cast is sensational in a subtle yet complicated way by bringing out emotions and comedy entangled in a dramatic hospital setting. I mean.. has our society really gotten used to "reality" TV shows like Jersey Shore and the Bachelorette that we forgot about what real characters and actors are? Did we forget about the development of a story line and bringing an imagination and element of creativity into something that is make believe seem realistic? If so, then shame on us, and shame on the producers of shows such as Survivor and Big Brother. This show is amazing, and if you do not agree, maybe you should pick up reading again, because obviously you've lost your way.
10/10 to the writers of this show. Bravo.
Pitch perfect dramedy hide show
Consummate television show making! The best show I've ever seen. Edie Falco is incredible, the characters are pitch perfect and their interactions make for the most hilarious and inspired goings on ever observed in an ER show. Every week I wish it was an hour long. The only thing that bugs me is the theme tune which is really bland, hopefully they will change it before the second season.
You may say that the husband is a bad fit, but he's supposed to be a bad fit. He's a perfectly bad fit, because he's so wonderful, but still wrong for her. Normally on the masses of boring mindless TV that flows endlessly, a bad fit husband is an **** Not here. He's a great guy a patient loving father, super supportive of Jackie, I suppose in a sense you could say it's Jackie that's not supportive of him. If you haven't seen the show. Take half an hour to watch the first episode.
I'm confident that you'll be hooked.
Mrs Acolitis.
Just watch it if you want to see something funny and impeccably written.
I rate this show GREAT.... hide show
Jackie is hilarious and brilliant comedy, with a side of seductive clever views. i have never came across any show that leaves me begging for more. This show screams Emmy Award for new drama. Nurse Jackie" offers a more plausible scenario than most, certainly a laughable one. Jackie also harbors more than one secret, bustles between saving lives and endangering her own with a brisk, impenitent ease.
Hospital shows are almost always watchable; deadly diseases and flat-lining patients have a way of enlivening the most formulaic scripts, and some of these story lines are well wrought. In this case the setting is enjoyably grim, a bleak, urban landscape of illness and poverty that makes "ER" seem like a spa retreat in Interlaken.
There are other compensations, notably the delicious newcomer Merritt Wever as Zoey, an insecure, clumsy student nurse who trips, tiptoes and sashays around Jackie with a strange, stop-and-start servility.
Good, but not exactly moral/honorable. Can be slow most of the time. hide show
Yes, she's strong and does what she believes is best for the patients. In some cases she bucks the system and goes around corners to make sure the patients get good care. But there was a case where she gave a brain dead man to the transplant team when she didn't have any indication that he was actually a donor. She's a drug user/abuser and cheating on her husband with a hospital worker (Eddie the pharmacist). The doctor (Cooper) with the grabby hands claiming it as a Torret's (not sure if I spelled that right) syndrome is ridiculous and someone like that would never be kept in a hospital in a doctor's position (or shouldn't) since that would constitute sexual assault and/or harassment.
The plot just isn't exciting. The beginning episodes were good, but it just doesn't feel like it's going anywhere.
I have high hopes the second season will improve. I will still watch it in hopes that it will get better.
After eight episodes I found myself uninterested about the story, not exactly anxious to see the next episode, so I'm sorry, but i'm not gonna keep wasting my time with this show. The initial twist about her having both an husband and a lover at work after a while got me wondering: why the hell she's cheating on her husband? the guy seem as good as it can gets, so why? He's not abusive nor distant, WTF? another thing: what is with this show and others on depicting doctors? Dr. Cooper is a joke, the friend of jackie at least is a bit funny, but really. It's so impossible to make a show about nurses in which the doctors are credible human beings and not stereotypes to enhance the role of nurses, which i'm sure it's crucial in health care?
