Nurse Jackie

Look, Edie Falco is a national treasure, okay?  She's been on two of my favorite shows ever and she is an absolutely amazing actor.  She played Carmella Soprano on HBO's The Sopranos (rated very R) and the title role on Nurse Jackie (almost equally likely to scar a kid for life; NO KIDS).  She's won Golden Globes and Emmys and zillions of awards, and she deserves them all, plus MORE... in fact, if I ever meet her she can also have my lunch money.  Not that she needs it.  But whatever.

Okay, so here's Nurse Jackie in a nutshell:  A crew of hugely talented actors portray the real-life workings of an NYC emergency room.  It's kind of like Scrubs, if all the characters were Dr. Cox.  So, dark and cynical and funny and horrific all at once.  But they can cuss and show boobs and stuff.  You know.  Showtime stuff.  Anyway, it's all finished now and you can marathon it on Netflix.  It's really good.
