Great job for Nurse Jackie for giving us something extraordinary on this episode. Episode 8 “The Astonishing” ended with a close-up of the main character’s intense, worried face.
TV Fanatic: For the umpteenth week in a row, the show made it look like Jackie was on the edge of losing it – drug supply dwindling, husband questioning their relationship, daughter on edge, co-workers suspicious – concluding an installment with what it must believe is a character-based cliffhanger.
But do any viewers really think this will be different? That something truly dramatic will take place next Monday?
I can, at least, admit that I didn’t see Bill’s death by truck coming. It was nice to be surprised for a change. Can’t say I have any reaction to his demise, however. His presence as Jackie’s drug dealer just served to kill some time for a couple weeks while she searched for ways to support her habit.
Might she get really desperate now? Might that result in some kind of drastic, series-altering action? I hope so. But I’m not confident.
Elsewhere, Coop’s mourning period really has to end soon. It was sort of cute at first, it revealed just how child-like this doctor is… but now it’s tiresome and it’s making my favorite character less fun.
