Mercy

It sounds soapy, but it's all handled well enough, and with enough humor, that we believe it.

Looking for a show to stave off "ER" withdrawal? Have Mercy; it's (you'll pardon the expression) strong medicine.

Any effective moments are outweighed by thumpingly obvious sentimentality, hospital stereotypes, and undignified "girl talk."

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.

Mercy isn't just derivative; it's stridently, obnoxiously derivative.

There's no reason to pile on here, but this show needed many more months of gestation before getting thrown to the wolves.

Yes, I saved the worst for last. NBC’s mawkish new nurse melodrama Mercy has no mercy.
