Post Nurse Jackie

Quote:
The series stars Edie Falco as title character Jackie Peyton, a "flawed" emergency room nurse at All Saints' Hospital in New York City. For Jackie, "Every day is a high wire act of juggling patients, doctors, fellow nurses and her own indiscretions." Showtime says the half-hour series "is at turns wicked, heartbreaking and funny."

Quote:
Controversy
Soon after Nurse Jackie premiered, the New York State Nurses Association decried the unethical behavior of the title character, and the detrimental impression regarding nurses that such a portrayal could have on the public, stating, "In the first episode, Nurse Jackie is introduced as a substance abuser who trades sex with a pharmacist for prescription drugs ... She has no qualms about repeatedly violating the nursing Code of Ethics.

This is like the "Don't fuck with me" version of those cable ER/Doctor TV series. It's got profanity, fucking, substance abuse, and, in some cases, sacrilege. God bless Showtime.

Anyone else watching this series?

No but I will when I finish watching The Mentalist. I'm currently mourning the loss of 24, Supernatural & Lost. Gotta have my dose of TV shows.

Season 3 just started a few days ago.
I've been watching it since the start of the first season. I like it.

Sadly, it doesn't seem as "real" to me as it did in the 1st season. I loved it then, but now... I don't think it's the same.

Ditto. I'm almost done season 2 and I really enjoy this series. Maybe I'll check this out afterwards.
