Mercy is the most raw, honest, and relevant show ive seen in years. It represents everything going on this country today. The war, a boom in nursing majors, people, hospitals, ptsd, veterans, real life, its hard ships. Mercy doesnt sugar coat anything. Tells you how and what it is. And the title is perfect bc its such a huge IRONY to the show. The characters are not made up. Its like they could be real people, they are. People these days dont want fake hospital romances or miracle surgeries- they want to see reality. And the reality is that this country isnt doing so great right, that we are at war, and that we have veterans millions of them battling ptsd. We have robberies,and we have people with real problems drinking them away. ANd more importantly we have people who die every single day who dont survive surgery or any treatment. Mercy paints real life in front of us. its really what they say ART imitating LIFE. And thats what people want. No one wants to see a bunch of rich doctors having sex in a closet when they should be treating patients. People want to see Veronica and Sonia, and Chloe ride the rollercoaster of life.

Guys, I love this show and I appreciate the mass emailing to save the show I and I love the support but I have to put up a stop sign and let you in on something. Whoeer said email USA Network, not going to work. USA Network is Owned by NBC as is ScyFy and Sleuth a long with MSNBC, CNBC ect. Our best bet is to boycott NBC and NBC owned networks as well as emailing NBC in response to this stipid move. Let I remind you NBC canceled Star Trek The Original Series only for many Star Trek Shows and seasons of those shows to be shown on CBS and CBS owned networks. If we want a Season two we email NBC and we email ABC, FOX and any other networks that we can and hope that they will snatch up what clearly is a great show. Mercy has an outstanding cast but was shown in a time slot and night that it was asking for death,it had to go up against American Idol.

um, thewriter589 The ONLY thing that made any sense in what you said is there should be more shows about nurses. We're on the frontlines far more than doctors these days. But to call this show:
"raw"
"honest"
"Tells you how and what it is"
"The characters are not made up. Its like they could be real people"
"Mercy paints real life in front of us"
Is totally laughable. As a REAL RN Mercy was the most unrealistic piece of fiction I've ever seen. The characters were totally made up and nothing lie real hospital workers, the things and procedures they did were totally inaccurate. It was a good show for the character development, but The characters are 100% made up, and far from raw and honest to what it's like to be an RN. You want to know what it's really like watch old episodes of ER or tune into ABC's "Boston Med".
We all would laugh at this show in the break room the next day at how ridiculous the and unrealistic the characters and the scenarios were. You guys (the general population) may have liked it. But it was just a goofy very inaccurate show. If what you are in fact looking for is Raw and real, I seriously suggest picking up on "Boston Med", the show is so raw and honest i feel like I'm at work and not getting paid when i watch it. After you watch that you'll get a better idea of how far off Mercy was.
It's ok to like a movie, ok to love a movie, when you obsess about it I question your sanity.
