	Author	Review
United States	Ken Tucker Entertainment Weekly	"With Falco front and center, you don't really care if 'Nurse Jackie' gets silly, as with the patient whose cat attacked his scrotum"	POS
United States	Mary McNamara Los Angeles Times	"Funny, yes, but in a revelatory way. It is not unusual for a working mother to view every relationship in her life as simply a matter of fulfilling the next indicated task, but I don't think it has ever been so wonderfully, and painfully, captured on television before"	POS
United States	Tom Shales The Washington Post	"The casting, like the writing and direction, is impeccable"	POS
United States	Tim Goodman SFGATE	"The workaday mysteries of Jackie and the phenomenal performance of Falco are more than enough to hold down the series while the rest of the characters find their niche"	POS
United States	Alessandra Stanley The New York Times	"It has one of the most talented actresses on television as its lead, and yet over all 'Nurse Jackie' is surprisingly, and disconcertingly, off key. This is a drama draped in black humor that doesn't know when to be funny"	POS
United States	Emily Nussbaum New York Magazine	"Excitingly ambitious--funny, sexy, strange"	POS
United States	James Poniewozik Time	"Some of the supporting characters need work (...), and some patients-of-the-week veer into clichés. But Falco is outstanding as a living reminder that you meet angels only in the next life"	POS
United States	Robert Bianco USA Today	"'Jackie' can be a dark show, and it's going to get darker. But there isn't an episode that doesn't leave you yearning to see the next. Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Matt Roush TV Guide	"In its mix of the caustic and the compassionate, 'Jackie' is as electrifying as its star"	POS
United States	Brian Lowry Variety	"The brooding tone can become stifling"	NEU
