Nurse Jackie is a series on Showtime about a nurse whose tumultuous personal life is coming to a disastrous turning point. That description seems like a show that could be interesting and unusual. Certainly, with an actress as talented as The Sopranos’ Edie Falco, you could at least expect something that’s above the norm for most TV shows. Unfortunately, you would be wrong. Despite all of the explicitness and edginess characteristic of other Showtime shows like Dexter and Weeds, Nurse Jackie is, at its core, just a mediocre medical comedy/drama that’s barely a cut above your average episode of Scrubs.
