?Nurse Jackie? ? unapologetically authentic

From its organically revelatory plot to its utterly authentic characters, Nurse Jackie epitomizes that which is great television.  In her first big role since The Sopranos, Edie Falco proves that she’s far more than just another “one hit wonder.”  Falco’s ability to morph completely into her characters is “Streepian.”  And the layers are vast and thick:  we watch her in Nurse Jackie transfixed as she dances that delicate ballet between feelings of guilt (cheating on her husband, taking stimulants, etc.) and her remarkably genuine awareness that life has many facets and that you do, indeed, make your own rules or become the prisoner others’.  I’ve always loved Edie Falco, and I’m so excited that she’s makin’ magic yet again!  I just can’t believe that I waited until now to check out the show.
