4.0 out of 5 stars Addicting for some reason, May 22, 2010

Julie Schmidt (Llano, Texas) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Nurse Jackie Season 1 (Amazon Instant Video)

I watched the Pilot some time ago and then forgot about the show. For some reason this week, I started watching it again, then had to buy Season 1. I am not sure why I liked it so much. Some of it reminds me why I left the nursing field. Some of it is totally unrealistic. I never worked in a place where so many narcotics could have gone missing, however I was always in a small town hospital or nursing home, so I have no idea about the big hospitals. I do know lots of nurses are in NA and AA. But there are lots of pharmacists, mailmen, store clerks, ordinary people also. Realistically those people get the meds somehow. Its a TV show, I never watch reality TV, so why do I want this show to be reality anyway? I don't! I could totally see Jackie as a human being working in a hospital in New York. I spent 360 minutes in another world like I rarely find. I think this was money well spent, and look forward to Season 2. I love the characters, the layers. My favorite is the new nurse, and her idealistic view of how nursing should be, in such contrast to Jackie. There is enough of this show based in reality to provide suspension of disbelief for the whole 3o minutes. I could go on for hours, but I think instead I will go watch Season 1 again, until 2 is available.

Thanks for reading, enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Edie Falco does it again!, July 17, 2009

This review is from: Nurse Jackie Season 1 (Amazon Instant Video)

I have seen the previews of this show and thought it was not that great. I was wrong. After watching another Showtime show, I decided just to watch this to kill sometime. Then I went to watch it On Demand and now I have it set to record.
She plays a women who uses drugs to be able to do her job, by any means necessary. She struggles with being moral and good and doing what she think she has to do to get through the day.

The show seems roughly inspired by Paddy Chayefsky's movie "Hospital," a brilliant satire. Unlike that movie, however, this show is lousy . Read more
