  Mercy...Oh Please!
  

  This is a new show appearing on the ABC. Slotted for prime time airing I watched the show hoping to be drawn into a world of saving faith. Wow! I have seen better acting and writing on the day-time soaps. The show is center around Veronica played by Taylor Schilling, who after coming back from Iraq suffers from PTS. On meds she struggles to find the balance in her life while attempting to save her marriage by committing adultery and chasing after men. Her co-workers aren’t that much better one is dating a doctor, and after being attacked by a patient decides to sleep with a police officer who has been pursuing her. The other co-worker seems to a wholesome young lady until the end where she follows suit and pursues the bartender injured in a fight. So if you are into adultery, alcohol, drinking, fighting, loose sex with bad acting and writing this is the show for you! God help us if this is art imitating life.

  If you are really into medical shows I believe Hawthorne is a much better show. The main character is played by Jedi Pinkett-Smith where she continues deal with the lost of her husband, while raising a teenage daughter coupled with an overbearing mother-in-law. I like the way they deal with the issues of life without resulting to cheap acts to get ratings. The acting is better and writing is realistic. They push to the edge of social topics without going overboard. Judge for yourself.

  Remain Bless
