With the passing of shows (some of which we wish hadn’t passed) comes new shows.
I grabbed a few recently and here’s what I thought of them.

Nurse Jackie
Nurse Jackie
Mrs. Soprano strikes out as a not-even-remotely-perfect nurse at a hospital. She swears, takes pain drugs for her back (shades of House) and has sex with doctors. But unlike House or Grey’s Anatomy, this show has a much grittier, more real feel to it. So far though, I’m not sure if that aspect is adding to or subtracting from the show’s appeal. Edie Falco is a very strong actress, and I could understand why she might want to have a dark, gritty, and above all *serious* show. But she also has a comedic side, and that is completely smothered by the cynical realism of this show.
