Nurse Jackie

nurse jackieSeason 5 of this medical dramedy doesn’t disappoint and that’s quite the accomplishment considering they had done a 360 in season 4 with Jackie getting treatment for her drug addiction.

This season Jackie is clean and trying to piece her life back together.  She even gets a new love interest!!

I won’t spoil any main plot points except to say that I was very sad to see Eve Best (Dr. O’Hara) take a hiatus (hopefully she’ll be back in the future) and to praise the production and writing teams for the smartly handled secondary storyline involving Gloria Akalitus.

Very often these “plot B” stories are either boring or simply ridiculous, but this one felt organic to the show, had its own raison d'ĂȘtre, and was resolved well.

Grade - Season 5: 8
