Jesse Warner is a single mom who has her hands full raising her preteen son, Little John. She works as a waitress, but dreams of becoming a nurse - that is, if her old-school dad and troublesome brothers let her. She realizes her dreams and becomes a nurse in the show's second season. When Jesse's ex-husband comes to town with the intention of winning her back, her love interest, a Chilean named Diego, gains a rival in his quest to win her affections. Christina Applegate stars in her first regular TV work since the cancellation of "Married ... With Children."
Jesse — Season 1

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Except for Bruno Campos' just-dandy Diego, Jesse is the worst-cast high-visibility show this season. Go to Full Review Tom Shales Washington Post 07/02/2019
It's about as funny as "The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner" or any of those other social-realist films that came out of England in the '60s. Go to Full Review Ray Richmond Variety 07/02/2019
The show has no real vigor, lacking the spark that would compel the audience to return week after week. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
