This is a real promising show on Showtime. I generally avoid medical dramas, but I had to watch it because I love cynical characters. This is a show that feels real, despite some of the random slapstick comedy that seems to make its way into random episodes. Zoey is hilarious.

Anyone else watch this?

I'm addicted to Nurse Jackie. Saw the first episode before it came out.
Edie Falco kills me. She's so snarky.

I tried watching it but it buffered real slow!!

Gosh, I'm a criminal!!

I think it has potential. Falco's character seems pretty well thought out but the rest of the characters seem to be an afterthought.
I am a bit annoyed that the 2 male nurse characters are both gay. Real cheap way out for the writers.

This show is great. I've been watching it alongside Entourage, Mental and Weeds.

This show seems a bit hoeky to me. I loved Falco in Soprano's, so the novelty of seeing her in a completely new role was enough to get me through the first few episodes, but I just got bored after that. We already have a doctor with a pain pill addiction (House), so it seems like it's already been done before.

What does this show have that another show doesn't?

I really like falco, her off center character is great, A long way from Carmella. With all nurse Jackie's vices, she still really care abot the patients. Great writing.

Final episode of the season last night.

Don't want to spoil it if you haven't watched it yet.

It's all over!!! Makes me sad, I really really like this show. I thought the ending was pretty slick.
Spoiler: From the 2nd episode, I called it that she would be shooting up by the end of the season. And then she went and made a liar out of me by drinking the intravenous drug. How dare she!?
Anyone know if they've been green-lighted for more seasons?
