There are some remarkably good actors going to waste here, most of whom will no doubt wipe this showoff their résumé the moment they get the chance.
-
There's no reason to pile on here, but this show needed many more months of gestation before getting thrown to the wolves.
-
Mercy is a bunch of played-out hospital cliches placed together in hopes of being the next “Grey’s.’’
-
Mercy isn't just derivative; it's stridently, obnoxiously derivative.
-
When it comes to Mercy, they (and we) should probably expect none.
-
Unlike "Jackie," nothing in Mercy feels real or believable, particularly the naivete of the recent grad student newbie nurse, who acts as if she's never been in a hospital.
-
Mercy echoes all the worst efforts of "Nurse Jackie" without the brilliance of Falco to make you forget the shortcomings. Hell, it makes "Hawthorne" seem almost watchable.
-
Mercy manages to stumble across a few not-awful moments here and there, but the bad moments are so cringe-inducing that the show ought to come with a warning label telling consumers this derivative melodrama is potentially toxic.
-
Yes, I saved the worst for last. NBC’s mawkish new nurse melodrama Mercy has no mercy.
