So… I watched the first four episodes of “Nurse Jackie” on Netflix and now I’m sad.<\/p>\n
I’d never seen the show because I’ve always been poor and a subscription to Showtime was not a luxury I was willing to expense. Though somehow–through witchcraft perhaps–I did manage to watch “Dexter” and “Weeds” while they were airing. Still, I’d heard things about “Nurse Jackie,” which is why I got a little excited when I turned on Netflix and there it was.<\/p>\n
OMG, the show gives me so many feelings and I don’t know if they’re good. Sure, it’s melodrama and dark human emotion, but it’s also pretty real. I’ve been there, worrying about a kid, not sure if there’s something really wrong or if it’s something they’re going to grow out of.<\/p>\n
Ugh. The show is good. There’s so much juiciness to it that it’s impossible not to be sucked in.<\/p>\n
Yet I don’t think it’s a show that I can watch regularly. I might binge-watch it one night to get it out of the way, but to tune in night after night to catch every episode? No thank you.<\/p>\n
If you have any kind of personality disorder or blanket darkness of the soul, “Nurse Jackie” might not be the show for you.<\/p>\n
But if you have a love for the awesome Edie Falco and for dark dramedy dealing with real life and prescription drug addiction, this might be your next Netflix show. There’s 7 seasons with 80 episodes, and the show ran from June 8, 2009 to June 28, 2015 on Showtime.<\/p>\n
Beware, from what I understand the ending is left ambiguous, which may result in you punching walls.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
