"I don't like chatty. Quiet and mean; those are my people." - Jackie Peyton (Edie Falco)I've been spreading the word the past few weeks about the beauty and grace (not to mention dark humor) of Showtime's comedy series Nurse Jackie, which finally premiered last night. You've read both my advance reviews of the first two episodes of Nurse Jackie AND the first six episodes as well but now that the premiere episode has aired, I'm curious to hear what you thought of this series.
Did you fall head over heels in love with this series as much as I did? Are you rooting for Edie Falco's deeply flawed Jackie Peyton? Did you love the supporting cast? Are you entranced by Jackie's world? Were you surprised by the ending in which she returns home to her husband (!) and kids (!!!)? Did you gasp when she flushed that psychotic diplomat's ear down the toilet?
And, most importantly, do you plan to watch Nurse Jackie again next week?
Talk back here.

Skewed-dark humor is natural when working in a health-care environment. Like Jackie tells us from her Catholic school days, we all have good and evil within us and to "make me good, God; just not now"!
And watch out for the nurse intern - anyone who takes a photo of THAT injury - is gonna be a wee bit crazee.
Actress Merritt Wever the breakout star of Nurse Jackie talks about playing the character of Zoey on the new series, wearing scrubs to work, and what you should look for her in next.
