    I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

    This show is a hit and it is clever and subtle enough for you to laugh and learn at the same time. The actors do a great job and the main doctor, Laurie Metcalf, is pure funny in a way that makes you unsure whether to laugh or go hmm. I love her comedic movement and timing. This show is a sleeper hit and outdoes other shows on HBO. Clever writing disguised as simple lines of conversation always gets me laughing because it doesn't dumb down the audience and makes us feel as if we are in on the inside joke. The cast is fine tuned and believable in their roles. I hop this show gets the credit it deserves. Adapted from a British comedy it is a touch above.

    "I don't trust you and you shouldn't trust each other but also must paradoxically work together; like in the Treasure of the Sierra Madre..."I am obsessed with the finale of season two. It is brilliance. The story line, the expressions, the timing, watching the complexities as an explosion of dashing dreams, adjustability, transformations, fear-facing, fast thinking and faulty decision-making abound. Too many great lines to count.  "I am allergic to animals, how many cats do you have." "7!"  "He's not really one of us..."  "I'm not dying anymore?" "Not fast enough for Medicare!"  and the "You have many layers..." amazing line!  I believe one of the best season endings ever!  A total delight. Can be watched over and over again.  a few highlights: Laurie Metcalf and Mary Kay Place schoolgirl bantering passing notes is hilarious! A stark contrast to the meeting's subject matter. Alex Borstein's quick marriage overlooking everything practical and maybe even her own feelings. Niecy Nash throwing in the garbage can her one dream in a simple gesture. Mel Rodriguez' s many layers, one being a small scream while being interrogated to the disgust of the women. The hospital's unbending hierarchy on the hunt for scapegoats. And Mrs. Lee and her stressed daughter and exquisite grand daughter with an eye shot I will never forget. There isn't a wasted moment and gives a lesson in universal expressions, so unlike the usual botox blank look we are getting used to.  Thank God for a third season to come!And oddly enough the song at the end gave me a very important and needed epiphany.

    I didn't have any interest in this but watched because someone else wanted to. I fell in love with it in about two minutes. I have never seen these characters in a sitcom before. Granted I don't watch a lot of them but the richness and honesty here is pretty mesmerizing. The first episode was intriguing as they laid the groundwork, and the next two went beyond it to brilliance. Dawn, Didi and Patsy are characters I have never seen before. Metcalfe's doctor is thrilling because every time she appears we know we are in for some new insanity. But what is so inspiring about this show is the humanity of the nurses. Not just in their care for some of the most pathetic of patients (customers), but in the examination into their own shortcomings in life though I have not yet found any shortcomings in Didi who may be the most loving character I have ever experienced in a television program. Not sure this one is gonna make it. It might be too good for Americans. The honesty and greatness of the acting might be too subtle for us.

    I have no idea if the producers and writers thought they were making a funny, edgy show that would rival Showtime's wonderfully funny and definitely edgy show, Nurse Jackie, but they FAILED.I wasted thirty minutes I can never get back, watching this utter disaster of a show. I didn't crack a smile once, nor did I even giggle. There was just nothing funny about this show. I actually wanted to cry, when I realized I just actually sat through this disgusting show.I suppose this is a spoiler, but I'm honestly not sure, so I'll mark it as such just in case: Non-stop talk about feces. Really? THIS is what Hollywood thinks people want to watch and hear about?End Possible spoiler.Low-class trash of a show is what this is. Don't waste your time!
