Emergency room nurse Jackie Peyton does everything she can to provide her patients with the best care possible while navigating the waters of a crumbling health-care system. But she has a secret that is increasingly difficult to keep from people -- she relies on Vicodin and Adderall to get her through high-stress shifts at a New York hospital, where she isn't above bending the rules to keep things running smoothly in the face of indifferent doctors, penny-pinching bean counters and miles of bureaucratic red tape.

Critics Consensus

While the tone begins to falter slightly in the second season, Nurse Jackie still triumphs due to Edie Falco's outstanding performance.

Not only is Falco irresistible as the no-nonsense, occasionally aggressive, wildly avoidant woman whom we haven't come close to understanding yet, but the rest of this clown show bounces along with breathtaking dynamism. Go to Full Review James Parker The Atlantic 12/22/2018
Nurse Jackie is also a television show, a gore-ified, God-inflected sitcom/drama, and a very good one. Edie Falco is magnificent. Did I just write that? Of course she is. Edie Falco and magnificence are indivisible. Go to Full Review Amelie Gillette AV Club 12/22/2018
B-
As stale and shoddy as the drama is in this dramedy, the light comedy of it is still pretty fresh. Both Merritt Weaver and Peter Facinelli, as Zooey and Coop, respectively, are nimble comic players, and any scene featuring either of them is fun to watch.

9/10
The second season of Nurse Jackie is even more gripping than the first, as Jackie's layers are slowly peeled away and her past and present sins shadow her. Go to Full Review Tom Gliatto People Magazine 12/26/2018
Edie Falco's strong acting spine supports a superb ensemble in Showtime's Nurse Jackie. Go to Full Review Matt Richenthal TV Fanatic 12/22/2018
4.4/5
Nice to see that the show has found a proper use for Gloria Akalitus. She was wasted as an awkward comic foil last season. Now, she brings a sense of lightness to her scenes, but also of proper professionalist. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
