A decent hospital drama for the first 2 seasons, giving the viewer what you expect from hospital drama....a variety of medical situations with a reasonable dose of ensemble character development and interaction intertwined with the medicine.
Then, S3 goes off the rails, heavily concentrating the show's minutes on various romances of sub characters topped off with the weirdest dive into the mental psychoses of Jada Pinckett's character only to be outdone by her romance/cheating with the strange-looking, pained acting of Marc Anthony's un-engaging cop character.
My advice....watch S1 and S2 if you like medical drama, but do not waste your time on S3 unless you are a glutton for terrible tv watching.

Hawthorne was an Exceptional Show despite other audience reviews
and critics, Jada Pinkett-Smith Nailed this and she was indeed fierce in this one. Hawthorne was dramatic, romantic, different, and fresh. The entire cast was also great and a big thanks to John Masius for creating such an outstanding show for those who love drama and of course nurses. Some audience may feel this show was boring, too much over acting, or whatever they feel, but you're missing out. Everyone loves Jada and every show and movie she has been in has been a must watch because we love seeing her on screen and Hawthorne was another side of her in my point of view. I agree with most Jada's performance in Hawthorne was epic and flawless. This show is a must own and a must watch. Hawthorne should've continued on longer than three seasons after the ending of the episode "A Shot in the Dark". Jada and John Masius should bring Hawthorne back for sure.
Good show but not great because I did not like Season 3. I dont like how the writers put Christina and Tom apart. The writers started off season 3 with an intense impact and that turned me off. I love love seasons 1 & 2. They should return the show but with a new twist. Leave out that Nick character. That character was awful.
Over the years there have been a number of hospital shows whose basic premise goes something like this: Hospitals have very strict rules and protocols about who may do what. These rules and protocols generally make sick people sicker. But once in a while some really daring hospital employee, a renegade doctor, a nurse fresh out of school, breaks the rules and saves people's lives, but he or she has an uphill fight to do it, because the hospital administrator, the chief of surgery, the ethics committee, the mayor, or whoever, does everything to prevent it, even knowing (and not caring) that lives are at stake. I for one don't buy that premise. I have been a hospital patient several times, and real hospitals do a very good job by following their rules and protocols. This is just one more show of the type I described. And to make matters worse, it's just bogged down in the personal lives of the characters. I like a good hospital show, but this is not one.
Christina Hawthorne is the most selfish, manipulative, condescending main character I have ever seen! The way she thinks she's always right and won't ever take no for an answer, and the way she constantly breaks rules because SHE thinks the rules are stupid... Just... UGH! I can't stand her.
I added an extra star for Bobby and Kelly.
Oh, and the show itself is uninteresting at best.
