Emergency room nurse Jackie Peyton does everything she can to provide her patients with the best care possible while navigating the waters of a crumbling health-care system. But she has a secret that is increasingly difficult to keep from people -- she relies on Vicodin and Adderall to get her through high-stress shifts at a New York hospital, where she isn't above bending the rules to keep things running smoothly in the face of indifferent doctors, penny-pinching bean counters and miles of bureaucratic red tape.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

All Saints Hospital remains staffed with some of the most dependably terrific actors on television, but this fifth season feels bereft of new places to go and instead relapses back into the series' worst habits.

Torie Bosch Slate In the fifth season, Nurse Jackie made another smart change: allowing Jackie's mentee nurse Zoey, played beautifully by Merritt Wever, to come into her own. Dec 27, 2018 Full Review Alan Sepinwall HitFix This season felt notably less vital than the one before it. I don't want to call this a safe version of "Nurse Jackie," but it was certainly a comfortable one Dec 27, 2018 Full Review David Hinckley New York Daily News With Falco as the anchor, Nurse Jackie is in no danger of drifting away. Dec 27, 2018 Full Review Stuart Galbraith DVDTalk.com It hasn't lost a bit of a punch, and like its titular character, recovering drug addict and acerbic nurse Jackie Peyton, the show is full of ballsy surprises and stronger than ever. Rated: 4.5/5 Dec 27, 2018 Full Review Jocelyn W TV Equals In a season in which Nurse Jackie series seemed to suffer from amnesia and an identity crisis at times, the season ended on a very familiar note. Dec 27, 2018 Full Review Tom Gliatto People Magazine The ensemble remains perfect, but the show's matter-of-fact crispness has been dulled. Stick out your tongue and say blah.
