Nurse Jackie (TV Series) Handle Your Scandal (2012) User Reviews

Wow: the left field non-issue the reviewer focuses on

I guess peoples buttons get pushed very easily in these days of controversy with the Catholic church but I need to remind the reviewer that Nurse Jackie is entertainment, not a documentary. And as entertainment the season finale had all the bells and whistles of a modern day soap; dramatic pacing, unexpected twists and surprises and well written and acted comic relief. The ensemble acting is now very tight and enjoyable to watch. The only complaint I have is the poverty of making only a 10 episode series but then these are challenging economic times. Lets hope that "The Suits" grant us another season of Jackie.

Dopey ending.

I do not understand the implied attack on the Catholic Schools that culminated in this episode. I realize that "edginess" is a hallmark of the series, but an attack on things Catholic is more of a liberal cliché than a truly daring statement. As a factual matter Catholic Schools in urban areas have been doing a better job of preparing the children of the poor and working class for higher education and life in general than do the much more highly funded Public Schools. I know because my Catholic School education allowed me to get into the Harvard Law School despite my working class roots Also, barging into a classroom and taking out a child is illegal even for a parent. Of course, it is consistent with Jackie's character. I guess I just found the whole idea to be stupid, and it ruined the entire episode for me.
