Posted May 19, 201114 yr http://www.ifyouwriteit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Nurse-Jackie.jpg Do we have any fans? I'm half way through season one and I'm finding it quite frustrating because there's so clearly a really good show in there but it doesn't seem to know what it wants to be - there's some emotional serious stuff with Jackie and her double life dilemma and pain meds but then you get almost Green Wing-esque moments of visual comedy with O'Hara. It feels a lot less complete than other Showtime series like The Big C and United States of Tara (as of where I'm up to) but still bizarrely addictive. Come forward people! Spoilers regarding later seasons in tags though if you will. :D
May 20, 201114 yr As usual Jark, I am here for you. I discovered this through chance on Lovefilm and have been in love ever since. I'm like miles behind on the 3rd season, tho the first 2 eps have been a bit bleh
May 20, 201114 yr Yeah, watch this US pace. It's very hit and miss for me though. My favourite parts are usually the banter between the nurses/doctors & patients. The rest of the 'story' completely bores me. But I feel like I've invested too much time to stop watching now, haha.
May 20, 201114 yr YES YES. We just need a United States of Tara thread now. Zoey is clearly the best character and she steals every scene. :wub:
May 20, 201114 yr I have issues with this. Series 1 was amazing and I think walked the line between black comedy and emotional drama quite well, but Series 2 just lost the plot entirely. They've turned Jackie into an all out c**t, the way she just bitches about everyone, all the time about everything is so annoying. They've really been excellent to Zoey though and I properly love her now, she's so kooky and provides quite a lot of the laughs. Gloria is, of course, LIFE though. That taser scene is one of the greatest things I have ever seen. cNyOUwAQiJE
May 20, 201114 yr Never heard of this, looked up a clip on youtube this morning and it didn't look that funny. I might give the first episode a watch though and see what I think then.
May 20, 201114 yr It really is all down to what clip you watch, really watching an episode is the only way of being able to judge it because some of it is crap, but then there are moments of sheer genius too.
May 20, 201114 yr United States Of Tara I'm waiting for the end of this season to resume watching. So fucking amazing. Also watched Nurse Jackie's 2nd season and it's less amazing but still 'amazing'. Never getting tired of saying that Showtime are f***ing incredible.
May 21, 201114 yr I love Nurse Jackie. Great show. Edie Falco plays her brilliantly I am waiting for the season to end so i can catch it all back to back but i have seen the first few episodes of Season 3 and i can't i have been impressed. I hope the show improves.
May 22, 201114 yr Author Jackie is emerging as such a raging bitch that I'm not even sure I can handle another two seasons. I don't care if she loves her kids, the woman's pure evil! On a lighter note Mrs Akalitus and the unclaimed baby mini story arc was properly fantastic. So quotable. "WHOSE BABY IS THIS? WHOSE BABY IS THIS? WHOSE BABY IS THIS?" "Your baby's GONE. Your baby's DEAD... OKAY so he's not DEAD." !!!
May 22, 201114 yr I quite like this show. I've seen the entire first season. I actually kinda like how it's a mixture of serious and funny. Zoey is my favourite character, she brings such a spark to the show.
May 22, 201114 yr My favourite line in the show comes in ep4 (I think) of S2, with the old benefactor lady: Coop grabs her tits as part of his weird nervous condition and she says ''SEE THIS GLORIA? SEE THIS!!!''...''NOT ONE DIME, NOT. ONE. f***ING. DIME'' and then dies.
June 21, 201114 yr Great finale! Can't believe it's been a full season already! Zoey always makes me smile. I had a feeling Kevin was cheating! I doubt Jackie is even mad with him, she probably just see's it as an easy way out and doesn't have to sneak about anymore. Next season will probably be her hitting rock bottom.
March 27, 201411 yr So, I've just downloaded this and hope to start watching in a couple of days. Season 6 starts April 13. I'm surprised it doesn't have many fans on here, are people not watching this anymore?
March 28, 201411 yr Loved last season's ending and I'm interested to see what happens this year as I've no idea what to expect now.
April 12, 201411 yr Can I just say how Nurse Jackie has gone from a good show to an amazing one in the span of 5 seasons? I'm beyond excited for Season 6 tomorrow :wub:
