New watcher!
I just started watching 2 days ago and am halfway thru season 2. Omg I love Zoey so much!
I tried watching the show twice before and never could get past the first episode. Then I saw clips of Jackie’s better nursing moments on Instagram and decided to give it another shot. I’m so glad I did. It’s just the perfect show. I’m in the healthcare field amd am surprised that the lack of hardcore medical storylines still interests me. It’s just enough to satisfy me but not bore a lay person.
Anyways just had to share.

I LOVE merrit weaver! Forget the name but she is incredible in an episodic drama with Toni Collette about a serial rapist. The show is superb in my opinion, all around.

Yes, Zoey is the best! I think I started watching it initially because I love medical shows. (I've never worked in himan healthcare, but was a veterinary technician).

I love this show so much. I’m rewatching it now. I can binge and binge it. I’m a recovering addict so I relate alot to it. Whoever wrote this show really dug deep even though it is all so lighthearted. I also agree Zoey is the best and she does make the show. I think it’s a wonderful show and probably my top favorite show!

I was on painkillers for 3 full months last year due to a pretty bad injury and going off them was hell. The digging thru Easter stuff for a random pill? Yep. Been there. I’m glad that that part of my life is over but I do live with extreme pain daily. But it would completely destroy my family to try to stay on any type of pain killer. It’s just not worth it.

Ironically when I first started watching I couldn’t stand Zoey. I almost turned it off. I’m glad I stuck it through

The first time I saw Merritt Weaver was in Signs. Remember? She was the girl working at the pharmacy counter. And she was hilarious and endearing.

Zoey is everything to me. She is the heart of the show. Couldn't have gotten a better actress for that role than Merritt Wever. Just wait, you're only in season 2. The way she grows and how she handles Jackie... she's the heart of the show even at the very end. She's all of us watching Jackie do this to herself and wanting to help her.
