yuengling215 Fantastic show that needs to be picked up by Netflix or Amazon. Three. Canceled way too soon with its popularity!! This was by far one of the best shows on television. Period. Superb writing and acting and storylines! I can't understand why the show was canceled with the amount of popularity and fantastic readings that I got. This seriously needs to be picked up by Netflix or Amazon. Highly recommend watching this if you get the chance you will fall in love with the characters in the story lines!
ohlabtechguy The head nurse, southern belle and preacher have charisma, but they do not play likable characters and so it's hard to become interested in them. But the most troubling and completely obvious problem with this series is that there is so much interpersonal conflict, between mothers and sons, daughters and mothers, nurses and doctors, slaves and non-slaves, etc., etc., that you can only wonder how on earth did ANYONE survive that war, much less any other war. Nothing is heartwarming. No relationships or personalities seem real. The fact that the new head nurse even remotely decided to stay in that God forsaken hospital is a total mystery and beyond comprehension. The writers used every conceivable human conflict they could imagine and have loaded every episode with it....only to leave the viewer exhausted and wondering how on earth we made it this far.
jchap1022 Once and done for this Tar Heel. More stereotyped Southerners getting their noses rubbed in slavery of which only a very small percentage of the population owned. There are the stereotypical dumb Southern belles, loopy old fathers, carpetbaggers, Yankees telling Southerners how to do things, and so on. Hmmm...sounds like a former neighbor of mine from Massachusetts who prided himself on having all the answers and being the first one out the driveway during the occasional snow storm. I don't know what "experts" were brought in to do the Civil War such a disservice. I would imagine that no Southerners had any input into the script. The only thing Southern about Mercy Street is its Richmond location.
lhagge-86907 Ridley Scott this may be, but a British costume drama it is not. By which I mean, though they appear to have tried for four years, they could not come up with a script that was not lame, or actors who were not amateurish. The very MINIMUM that should be expected is that actors will have a reasonable and consistent accent for their characters, but apparently even this was too much to ask--for example, each of the actors playing the family who own the hotel-turned hospital has a different accent, even though they are supposed to be playing a single Virginia family. The older girl, one of our heroines, cannot even maintain a consistent accent throughout,sometimes sounding vaguely southernish, and other times like a Yankee. Her younger sister by contrast sounds like a Georgia cracker. The results are like a low-budget film from the 1950s. Really really disappointing and cheesy. No finesse in the writing either--just clump clump clump like a big pair of boots. Ugh.
