Nurse Jackie [Showtime, Mondays, 10:30/9:30C] has only just premiered and already the series, which stars Edie Falco, has been renewed for a second season!
The darkly humorous series, which is centered around Falco’s “strong-willed and brilliant — but very flawed — emergency room nurse in a complicated New York City hospital,” has garnered almost universal acclaim [we gave it an A+ rating] — with USA Today proclaiming, “Here’s a cure for TV’s summer doldrums: Take one great actress and one great role; repeat for 12 weeks,” and the Washington Post chiming in with, “Nurse Jackie is one of the true choice cuts of the year.”
