Hawthorne

I just begin this series today, I have passed it by for years, because I thought it would be boring, imo, it's a great show Jada is fabulous and believable, however the character as her daughter to me, is a good actor just not believable as her daughter, she definitely doesn't look like a teen in high school, a college freshmen, yes, but that's why I gave 7 stars for that reason, Jada is intelligent, a great mom, empathetic, sympathetic, kind, and a great friend, in this role, she's also ruff and tuff when she has to be but still professional. I also feel the rest of the cast work well together in this series, I wish I would of watched in 2009 when it began.

Good show but not great because I did not like Season 3. I dont like how the writers put Christina and Tom apart. The writers started off season 3 with an intense impact and that turned me off. I love love seasons 1 & 2. They should return the show but with a new twist. Leave out that Nick character. That character was awful.

And I have to say, I was stuck to the television set throughout the entire marathon this pass weekend. This show is fantastic. What's so great about it is, that nurses really do run hospitals. You think it's the doctors or the administration. BS. You go to a hospital these days and all you are going to find are nurses, and maybe a doctor or two.

Mrs. Smith is great in this role as the Head of the Nurses in this hospital emergency room. She takes on everything thrown at her. Even her mixed up crazy daughter.

I'm glad TNT picked this show up for another season. One of the best shows this summer!

Hawthorne was an Exceptional Show despite other audience reviews and critics, Jada Pinkett-Smith Nailed this and she was indeed fierce in this one. Hawthorne was dramatic, romantic, different, and fresh. The entire cast was also great and a big thanks to John Masius for creating such an outstanding show for those who love drama and of course nurses. Some audience may feel this show was boring, too much over acting, or whatever they feel, but you're missing out. Everyone loves Jada and every show and movie she has been in has been a must watch because we love seeing her on screen and Hawthorne was another side of her in my point of view. I agree with most Jada's performance in Hawthorne was epic and flawless. This show is a must own and a must watch. Hawthorne should've continued on longer than three seasons after the ending of the episode "A Shot in the Dark". Jada and John Masius should bring Hawthorne back for sure.

A decent hospital drama for the first 2 seasons, giving the viewer what you expect from hospital drama....a variety of medical situations with a reasonable dose of ensemble character development and interaction intertwined with the medicine.

Then, S3 goes off the rails, heavily concentrating the show's minutes on various romances of sub characters topped off with the weirdest dive into the mental psychoses of Jada Pinckett's character only to be outdone by her romance/cheating with the strange-looking, pained acting of Marc Anthony's un-engaging cop character.

My advice....watch S1 and S2 if you like medical drama, but do not waste your time on S3 unless you are a glutton for terrible tv watching.
