Mmm, I don't know that I have the love for Nurse Jackie. I've only seen the second season and what's airing now. It's good, and intriguing characters, but I need to go and netflix season 1 so I can see if they ever give a better explanation for why she takes drugs and the whole eddie deal.

IPS, I have to say they are doing a better job than expected. It's always been such an uneven show...I actually miss Brandi's bf/ex whatever he is (that she borrowed the money from) and feel like we really need to see that conflict resolved. The brother seems a little out of left field, but hopefully they'll make it pay off more than the sister....

Nurse Jackie - Season 1 starts in the middle of the story, really. Eddie and Jackie are already a thing, and Jackie is already hooked on painkillers, which it is implied is how the relationship with Eddie started, because he can get her pills. It is also said (I think in the opening narration) that Jackie has a bad back and I've always assumed this was the trigger for the drug addiction but it's never been explained because the only person that knows IC is Jackie and she's in total denial. (This is not a season spoiler, btw, you can glean all this from the first ep of S1).

And what's airing now, btw, IS the second season. Finale was last night, I've just watched it. It didn't push things as far as I thought it would but I suspect they're really setting things up for S3.

IPS, Brandi's bf is still around, just not as much. At least they didn't ditch him completely like poor Rafe *sniffles* I liked him. You're right that it's uneven but when it's good, it's very, very good :) And even the not so good is still watchable.
