Yet another hospital drama based on the stories of dysfunctional but fun to watch staff. The gimmick of this particular version'''''Mercy''''' is that the three primary characters are nurses instead of doctors. It is also timely because the lead is an Iraqi war vet suffering from various levels of PTSD. There are regulars who are doctors too, of course, as well as family and love interests. Better than it sounds, because the writers are adept at backstabbing their own characters and some critics have called Mercy a rip off of Grey's Anatomy, but a good one worth watching. [[Needs More Love|Unfortunately canceledcancelled in May 2010 due to low ratings.]]
