The most commented midseason debut is the series “Nurse Jackie”, produced by Showtime. It brings Edie Falco, from Sopranos, back in the role of a nurse and is now the center of a controversy – small but controversial.

The sentence said by the protagonist in the first episode (“Make me good God, but not yeat!”) probably will be famous as “Everybody lies!”, from Dr. House. And unfortunately “Nurse Jackie” will load for a while comparisons with the Fox megahit, but there are several differences between the two shows.

While Gregory House is not sympathetic to his patients and has an agonizing pain in his leg, the nurse Jackie is involved with the history of each patient, for good and for evil. She is also addicted to drugs and the way she takes them is even more shocking than the defect of Hugh Laurie‘s character .

Jackie is human, for good or for evil. She wants to be good, but understands that sometimes being a good means to be a loser. She is helpful, but do not let up anyone takes advantages of her. She goes where she wants to go, and does not measure effort. She fails, and recognizes. But do not sit and cry. As in the case of patient who died, but she tries to reward a boy, fudging a documentation from someone who wasn’t a organ donor.

In the bad side of their emotions, she follows her judgments of right or wrong, manipulating the situation, in more different ways. But it is a good person who lives in constant trial between what is good and bad.

And that is precisely what makes “Nurse Jack” a great show which, by the way, after only two episodes has already secured a second season.
