Why are there no positive reviews in the critical reception?
editNew York Times at least has one that isn't totally negative like the rest on this page:
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/16/arts/television/16hawthorne.html
"The writing is a bit stilted and predictable, but the show is not unbearable — there are some amusing supporting actors and the occasional engrossing medical crisis."

Done, added, see [1]. :) Cirt (talk) 04:28, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
I also believe the (currently) 12th reference ("What did you think of Nurse Jackie?") shouldn't be used, as the article is about a different show and the reviewer gives no basis for his 'review.' As he says: "In less capable hands, this show could have sucked (or ended up looking like TNT’s upcoming and uncompelling HawthoRNe, which I have a screener for but can’t bring myself to watch just yet)." You shouldn't reference a review from a reviewer who hadn't even watched it yet. Jabberwockgee (talk) 05:51, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
- Okay, no worries. :) Cirt (talk) 16:16, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Arbitrary ratings by viewers
editItunes ratings by viewers are neither notable, nor reliable, and also WP:NOR. This should be removed. -- Cirt (talk) 01:49, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
- Aggregations of reviewers scores are perfectly acceptable, and can be used in addition to 'professional' reviewer aggregations. Also, WP:OR has nothing to do with this topic. Jabberwockgee (talk) 19:27, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
Different pages for different seasons
editI agree this article does need work. Has anyone done anything yet? Tj1224 (talk) 01:33, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
Reception section needs work
editIn metacritic there are three negative, two positive and seven mixed reviews, this article focuses only on the negative reviews why? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.248.65.8 (talk) 10:08, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
