Maidgethma Wonderfully offbeat film!

SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

pai-rai there are a lot of layers to this show. first of: it has a lot of heart. i mean a lot of it. it's uncomfortably funny but the awkward transferred stillness warms your insides. i detect some distinct scrubs influences. borstein 's top notch performances to subtly increase the funny level by a thousand, within the hard-to-notice situations. funny you have to find. i like that. cinematographically speaking, it is a single camera sitcom? dramedy? there are influences of mockumentary style filming also. extreme-closeup shots and the like. good show. niecy nash or whatever her name is shines in this well written roll. not at all the exaggerated black stereotype she had played in her past. and mel rodriguez? fogettaboutit. he might not have the Latin accent he sports in many of his previous roles, but this man is downright funny, even in this rather serious character. solid.

Annoid If you are looking for Glitz and Glam, forget it.If you appreciate the absurdity of every day living, you have found your home.I adore Nurse Jackie, as the former poster noted that she liked, however if you can polish off that sheen you might find something that at least looks like real life here.Easy to make exciting traumatic moments; it's a bit harder to convey the strength of emotion that stretches out when someone takes more than an episode to die.I am believer of reality vs. fiction, and as quirky "Getting On" is, it is heads and shoulders above Nurse Jackie in realism. What a fantastic balance "Getting On" has struck.It has a quiet "emergency"!

jeffhaller125 I didn't have any interest in this but watched because someone else wanted to. I fell in love with it in about two minutes. I have never seen these characters in a sitcom before. Granted I don't watch a lot of them but the richness and honesty here is pretty mesmerizing. The first episode was intriguing as they laid the groundwork, and the next two went beyond it to brilliance. Dawn, Didi and Patsy are characters I have never seen before. Metcalfe's doctor is thrilling because every time she appears we know we are in for some new insanity. But what is so inspiring about this show is the humanity of the nurses. Not just in their care for some of the most pathetic of patients (customers), but in the examination into their own shortcomings in life though I have not yet found any shortcomings in Didi who may be the most loving character I have ever experienced in a television program. Not sure this one is gonna make it. It might be too good for Americans. The honesty and greatness of the acting might be too subtle for us.

SataiDelen I have no idea if the producers and writers thought they were making a funny, edgy show that would rival Showtime's wonderfully funny and definitely edgy show, Nurse Jackie, but they FAILED.I wasted thirty minutes I can never get back, watching this utter disaster of a show. I didn't crack a smile once, nor did I even giggle. There was just nothing funny about this show. I actually wanted to cry, when I realized I just actually sat through this disgusting show.I suppose this is a spoiler, but I'm honestly not sure, so I'll mark it as such just in case: Non-stop talk about feces. Really? THIS is what Hollywood thinks people want to watch and hear about?End Possible spoiler.Low-class trash of a show is what this is. Don't waste your time!
