TV.com's pick of the best TV shows on Aussie screens this week. Jamie's American Road Trip Premiere. Jamie Oliver will visit six US cities in this cooking-travel show in an attempt to prove American cuisine is more than fat foods and take away. It kicks off in New York and he cleverly gravitates away from the five-star restaurants to the heartland of the city: its immigrants. Oliver meets some charismatic...
You had me at Merritt Wever, The Missing Person. Michael Shannon, Amy Ryan, and the moodiest, darkest clips I’ve seen in ages? I’m filing The Missing Person under “trailers that knocked muh socks off.” Looks good, right, PopWatchers? You’ll pay for the whole seat but you’ll only need the edge, etc. etc.
So how does one talk about NBC's new medical drama Mercy and make it seem... well, new? I'm not sure you can! The show seems to borrow pretty heavily from other "tough", big-hearted medical shows currently on the air. There's your intense-but-soft-inside lead, a doe-eyed newcomer, a sexy-scruffy doctor, and an imperious leader played by a Respected Actor. Sounds kinda textbook, right? Actually...
As lousy as this summer TV season has been on the broadcast networks, cable outlets have more than made up for it, especially Showtime's "Nurse Jackie," which has its first-season finale tonight at 10:30. What most impressed me about this dark comedy was how quickly the show felt whole. The supporting characters quickly began to feel like real characters with the possible exception of Mrs....
My favorite scrunchie-wearing, doe-eyed nurse, Zoey Barkow, recently chatted with E! in an interview with Kristin Dos Santos. To be more specific, actress Merritt Wever--who plays the innocent nurse on the critically-acclaimed Showtime series starring Edie Falco, Nurse Jackie--did the talking.Weaver was hesitant to speculate on details of her... ...read full story
Quick thoughts on tonight's "Nurse Jackie" coming up just as soon as I send you some lice shampoo... "Fun? This is not fun. This is f--king hard." -Jackie We're now in the home stretch of season one, with only three episodes to go after this one, so it's time for Jackie to start experiencing the consequences of her reckless behavior. The most obvious physical one is the bloody nose...
Hi. As mentioned earlier, I don't have time to properly review tonight's "Nurse Jackie" because I'm busy preparing for tomorrow's start of press tour, but I do have a few quick thoughts on this one: 1)Ruby Jerins, who plays Jackie's older daughter Grace, is a terrific young actress. I suspect that if she and/or her parents want her to continue acting as she gets older, we're going to see...
ost people have their own threshold for “good” and “bad” acting. For me, as long I’m not distracted by poor acting then it is fine. I am a plot girl, so if the plot is engaging, i can tolerate mediocre acting. So when an actor comes along who, besides plot development and characterization makes me [...]
Quick spoilers for tonight's "Nurse Jackie" coming up just as soon as I give a baby some paperclips to play with... "Too bad it's not made of Vicodin." -Eddie If last week's wonderful episode felt like a breakthrough for this uneven series, then "Steak Knife" was a bit of a step back. There were still a number of extremely strong things in it -- notably Jackie's increasing...
In this memorable scene, Jackie (Edie Falco) expresses her boundless admiration for the medical skills of Dr. "Call Me Coop" Cooper (Peter Facinelli). by Ken From the way Showtime sneaked Nurse Jackie into the schedule Monday nights at 10:30, you get the feeling the network doesn't think much of the comedy created by Liz Brixius, Evan Dunsky, and Linda Wallem, starring Edie Falco as a seen-it-all...
