Anyone want to watch Nurse Jackie?

"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." [more inside]

Anyone interested in (re)watching Wiseguy?

I just noticed that Wiseguy, the 1987-1990 crime drama, is streaming on Hulu. Alan Sepinwall described it as "a dark, moody, intelligent drama" that was "20 years ahead of its time" due to its then-groundbreakingly-lengthy story arcs, which allowed the show to develop richer villains than the typical case-of-the-week shows of the time. From what I've read, it seems like an important foundational show for modern TV, but it's been largely forgotten today. I think I'm going to watch it - would anybody else be interested in watching along with me? [more inside]
