Uncategorized TNT's 'Hawthorne' reviewed
Posted by Edward Adams @edlovesbacon on Tue, Jun 23, 2009 at 10:25 PM
The phone rings, a hurried conversation and Nurse Christina Hawthorne dashes to the hospital, avoiding security and helping a wandering elderly patient as she rushes to console a friend and fatally ill cancer patient from jumping off the roof. She fails. Soon after, she’s arrested under protest for roughing up the security guard. So goes the first few minutes from the pilot episode of TNT’s latest drama, Hawthorne starring Jada Pinkett Smith.
As the episode progresses we’re given a day-in-the-life of a hospital from the views of the often unsung heroes - the nurses. While much of the show involves the often trivial tasks that take place throughout the day, the supporting characters and their stories slowly start to manifest peaking your curiosity and drawing you in.
