Anyone want to watch Nurse Jackie?

January 17, 2016 3:01 PM

"Nurse Jackie" is a dark comedy about a cynical ER nurse with a heart of gold. I've seen four episodes so far. I think the moment it won me over was when student nurse Zoey apologizes for vomiting, promising it'll never happen again, and all Jackie says, "Yes, it will."

There are eighty episodes, half an hour each. I'd be happy to post two episodes a week (or less, if people want to go more slowly). I'd like to gauge interest in a group-watch, before I commit to that. The posts would be first-watch, so I don't get spoiled.

I watched Nurse Jackie and I really liked it. I'd love to see a thread on Fanfare but I would probably only participate sporadically.

yeah, I'd keep an eye on the threads, but I don't know how much I'd have to add, especially in a first-watch situation.

Just started watching myself, and came by to see if discussions were already ongoing, so, one vote for yes.

Unfortunately, I've sort of fallen out of love with it. I wanted House and it started looking more like Requiem for a Dream. Not really up for eighty episodes of the bizarre yet entirely unsurprising ways addicts find to ruin their lives. :-(

Because of noticing this post and having heard some discussion of the show elsewhere in the last few months, I decided to give it a try. I've watched the first three episodes I enjoy it. I don't love it. I think for me it will be light occasional viewing. I'm not sure if there's enough interest to sustain a rewatch or a first watch, though. You could try posting something like a whole first season post (or, indeed, a post for the final season) and see what the response is.

I just finished it today. I'd love to participate!
