NURSE JACKIE
April 13, 2014  | By David Bianculli

Showtime, 9:00 p.m. ET

 

SEASON PREMIERE: This Edie Falco showcase begins Season 6 with the charcter, and the series, continuing to relapse: Falco’s Jackie is back on drugs, and, as before, is juggling her work, home and love lives as best she can, but always dropping a ball somewhere. This time it’s with her rebellious teen daughter (forgive the redundancy), but Falco, as always, gives the character such depth that even when Jackie seems to attain what she wants most – scoring in a dance-hall bathroom, in more ways than one – she projects the pain and desperation simmering underneath. And new recurring cast member Julie White, as a skeptical member of Jackie’s support group, is terrific, too.
