Why Nurse Jackie might be annoying:

    Why on earth is a person who promotes health and well-being doing something that is the opposite of that?
    Shortly after the show made its debut, New York State Nurses Association denounced the unethical behavior of the title character.
    The creators claim the show is a 'dark comedy' despite the fact that it has a somewhat dramatic tone in most of its storylines.
    This created controversy as to whether the show should be recognized in the Emmy comedy categories.
    For a comedy series, it has a lot of swearing and violence.

Why Nurse Jackie might not be annoying:

    The series premiere was the highest rated debut for a series on Showtime.
    Many critics praised the show and were surprised by Falco's graceful leap for hard core drama to dark comedy.
    The series won numerous accolades in its freshman year.
    By virtue of Falco's Emmy win for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, she became the first woman to win both Lead Actress in a Comedy and Lead Actress in a Drama.
