For
Nurse
Jackie: Season Seven,
I had little knowledge of the show, but what I did hear did not
really interest me. The reason behind this is due to the fact I
learned that Nurse Jackie, who worked in the medical field had an
addiction to pain pills and the show follows her life as she tries to
battle that addiction, as well as, other problems in her life, which
to me sounded a lot like the successful Fox series House.
He overcomes the same addiction, personal life confrontations, and
more. However, Nurse
Jackie
deviates from the same path as House,
up to this Final
Season
set.
Something
different this show seems to do, at least in this season, is to show
the audience the reason Jackie cannot quit her drug addiction by
showing us the world through her eyes. We visually see the
attraction she has with drugs and her walking on the streets like she
is in a whole other world.
Nurse
Jackie
seems to be good at what she does, so the idea of a nurse that is
good at her job, but cannot nurse herself back together is a good
premise. It even begins with her struggles of after a car accident
and being arrested for a car full of drugs.
This
show is also labeled as comedy, but that does not seem to fit its
actual genre the show seems to emit. There are plenty of funny
moments, of course, but it feels more like a drama. Some may call it
a dramedy, but it has won more awards for being a comedy, so we could
try the term satire as well.
