Nurse Jackie (TV Series)

"With Falco front and center, you don't really care if 'Nurse Jackie' gets silly, as with the patient whose cat attacked his scrotum" 

"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" 

"The casting, like the writing and direction, is impeccable" 

"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" 

"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" 

"Excitingly ambitious--funny, sexy, strange" 

"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"
