HawthoRNe: Season 1

Jada Pinkett Smith is what brought me to the show and it's Nurse Hawthorne that has kept me coming back for more week after week. I love that the show is from a nurse's view and that she will go to great lengths to get the best care for her patients. For too long medical dramas only care about the five or so minutes that doctors spend with people and totally ignored the backbone of our medical profession --- nurses. We should all be so lucky to have a Nurse Hawthorne stepping up to plate for us and demanding we all get the best medical treatment no matter our lot in life. In the last two years I have met some great nurses who took care of me during my multiple long stays in the hospital and I can't express my upmost respect that I have for them and their profession.Once, I received my HawthoRNe dvd I watched it over and over and over. Now I am waiting on Season 2 dvd to be finally released and Season 3 in June 2011.Long Live HawthoRNe!!!

This is my first time watching a medical tv series. This being my first view of the concept, i liked it. It has good actors, with a good story with Jada Pinkett Smith and Micheal Vartan. It has its funny moments which makes part of this story good. Character lead Christina Hawthorne (jada)has a hard time after her husband's death. Being a mom and a full time nurse takes a toll on her. In each episode there's a medical issue, leading to a dramatic confilct with some humor in the mix, but some sad moments. I love how the nurses take care for their patients and how serious Hawthorne takes her patients; with concern and compassion. Episode #9 really touched me becuase it had one of the most heartbreaking moments within the show. I just strated watching season two on TNT and i love it. I hope it continues a third season.

I agree with Chris Caldara's suggestion that "St. Elsewhere" was "the template for all future television medical dramas"1. which changed how we perceived life behind the doors of a city hospital. The fragility of life exposed in "St. Elsewhere" took a gigantic leap forward in "ER", producing perhaps THE best television medical drama of our time. Now comes "HawthoRNe", a new story told from the perspective of a Chief Nursing Officer. I have followed this show from concept write-ups to TNT cable promotion, and I believe "HawthoRNe" to be the next BIG hit for the medical drama genre. Created by John Masius, whose other credits include "Touched By An Angel" and "Providence", and starring Jada Pinkett Smith, who heads a strong supporting cast, I have high hopes for "HawthoRNe", and anxiously await its DVD release !!!1.

This was my favorite season of HawthoRNe! Jada's character is ruthless, unapologetic, and fierce when it comes to defending her patients and what is right for them. I love this about "Nurse HawthoRNe". Suleka Matthew's character was a nice compass when Christina HawthoRNe needed to be reigned in. Michael Vartan is a sexy love interest who plays the role in a straight forward way. It was a wonderful show! I was sad when it was cancelled, but elated to have the season on DVD.

Amazon suggested this show for me over and over again, and I kept thinking it wasn't for me. But about three months ago I felt a nudge and watched one ep. I was really surprised, I loved it! It's a great twist on a old story line, with a mega star,Jada, whom I was wishing to see on the big screen really really soon. To see her in this role shows a whole new side of her, she's wonderful. I was never bored, and the show stayed fesh. I was worried when they switched hospitals but it worked. It's never easy for me to find a show that I can dig into, the last one was Medium, but there's room for another. I've now seen every esp on amazon and it's worth it every cent.

I was skeptical when I purchased the first episode but this series quickly won me over. I've watched every episode now and will be sad when the season ends. As an actress, Jada Pinkett Smith sometimes lacks range in her character portrayals. She's the strong cocky female character. Even when she comes across more as Jada, than Hawthorne, the script is so strong it overshadows those momentary lapses. I certainly hope they've had enough viewership for another season. We've all seen several hospital dramas over the years, but this one centers more on the personal lives of the doctors ala Grey's Anatomy minus heavy emergency room environment. I'm really impressed. I did not expect to like this show so much.

I ended up watching a few episodes from my friends DVD and after the first 2 I was hooked. I gave her the disks back and went and bought my own set. I just loved the characters and the plot is great. Jada has always been a good actor and should get more roles, she is simply phenomenal. I love Ray and Isabel helps make the show. But, Dr. Wakefield, totally has me hooked. That man can act and he is simply beautiful. If you want to laugh, cry, scream, and get butterflies then this series is definitely for you.

I bought it for a friend, but got hooked as I watched the episodes making sure all the dvds were in good condition.Of course I got the other 2 seasons as fast as I could & they didn't disappoint!The lead actress is a doctor & single mom still dealing with the death of her husband( who she would have divorced if he hadn't gotten sick) trying to decide if its time to date.Jada is a Gem!Amazon makes it all possible.

This is one of my favourite movies! I was happy that I was able to purchase it through Amazon for a great price! I love your online shopping site! Thank you!!
