REVIEW: NURSE JACKIE Season 2
02/22/11
REAL LIFE CAN BE HARD TO SWALLOW. Delve deeper into the chaotic life of Jackie Peyton as Lionsgate releases the second season of the acclaimed series “Nurse Jackie” to DVD and Blu-ray Disc on February 22nd. Four-time Primetime Emmy Award-winning Edie Falco* stars as Jackie, a quick-witted and deeply flawed emergency room nurse with more than a few secrets. For her, every day is a high wire act of juggling patients, doctors, fellow nurses and her own indiscretions. In the second season of this Emmy Award-winning series, Jackie struggles to keep up as functioning addict, a loving wife and mother and a first-class nurse. Falco leads an accomplished supporting cast – including Eve Best (TV’s “Prime Suspect: The Final Act”), Peter Facinelli (The Twilight Saga), Paul Schulze (TV’s “Law & Order”) and Merritt Wever (Michael Clayton). The Nurse Jackie: Season Two DVD and Blu-ray Disc bonus materials examine all 12 episodes with creator and actor commentaries and two innovative featurettes on the characters of Dr. Cooper and Dr. O’Hara, and the actors who portray them.
The series “straddles the worlds of drama and comedy with confidence and gutsy gusto,” (TV Guide), and the sophomore season further explores the delicate balance of Jackie’s personal and professional lives, and what she needs to do to keep up appearances. Critics and audiences alike are addicted to “Nurse Jackie,” boosting viewership in the second season by 13%, up from an already record-breaking Season One.
