Nurse Jackie


Oh yes. Edie Falco is back and luminous as a no-nonsense nurse with an attitude on a new Showtime series "Nurse Jackie." She's the scrappy nurse that will save your life while practicing her own form of justice. It's funny and dark and worth every second of your time.
The doctors are cartoonish, but hey, this is from the nurse's POV. My sister is a nurse and, while nurses aren't all saints, some doctors are baffoons.
My favorite line is when Jackie is talking to a barely out of the womb yappy intern: "Let me ask you something? Shut up. I like quiet and mean. those are my people." Priceless.

I agree. Watched the pilot the other night and I'm going to love the show. I love Edie Falco anyway and this character is right on.
