On first watch, Jackie is so personable, so relatable, that you hope and root the entire way through that she can find a way to Have It All, to Juggle It All. On rewatch, you realize this is a tragedy. Each pill brings Jackie closer to the end, shakes her out of control, and you realize that there is no Have It All for Jackie. There never was.  Edie Falco is brilliant, and breaks your heart the whole way through. Bonus: meta-commentary on our medical system, though of course, dated in the eyes of what nurses face today in the USA; especially in big cities.
