If you are after a comedy that actually makes you laugh out loud, Nurse Jackie is available in Australia on Paramount Plus, and in the US on Netflix right now. 7 seasons is a serious commitment, but one that pays off episode after episode. Its 7/10 TMDB score, built from 247 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. Edie Falco is the obvious draw, but the whole ensemble earns its laughs. Put it on tonight on Paramount Plus and see for yourself.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Nurse Jackie earns its spot. Nurse Jackie does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. Every day is a matter of life and death in a hectic New York City hospital, but for Nurse Jackie that's the easiest part. Between chronic back pain that won't quit, and a personal life on the constant edge of collapse, it's going to take a white lie here, a bent rule there, and a handful of secret strategies to relieve the pain, and stay one step ahead of total disaster. Edie Falco and Merritt Wever lead a cast that never overplays a joke. Across 7 seasons (2009–2015), it never lost the thread that made it worth starting. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and Nurse Jackie holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-off curiosities. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

Nurse Jackie is the kind of thing you put on in the background and end up fully watching. If you have already watched Weeds, Nurse Jackie is a natural next step. 7 seasons in, there is no shortage of material once you get started. Edie Falco sets the tone, but the supporting cast is where a lot of the best moments come from. A reliable pick for any night you want quality comedy without the homework.

Nurse Jackie wrapped up in 2015, created by Linda Wallem, Liz Brixius and Evan Dunsky — and 7 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
