I’m having a difficult time waiting for the next episode of Mercy on NBC. I’ve never been a soap opera fan and shows about doctors, hospitals, and medicine in general usually freak me out but for Mercy I make an exception. Mercy isn’t a soap opera but it has enough drama to keep me wanting more. The show is witty, funny and I’m attached to the characters, especially Dr. Sands. One word…hmm…dreamy.

Here’s actor James Tupper talking about his role:

Jamie Lee Kirchner, Michelle Trachtenberg, and Taylor Schilling play the nurses on the frontline of Mercy. Watch as they talk about their characters:

I love the diverse cast of actors involved, like independent film actor James LeGros. Remember James Van Der Beek from Dawson’s Creek?  He plays an arrogant yet mysterious doctor with a mission of his own. I’m almost positive I heard James Van Der Beek on a commercial for DROID the other day.

The series always has interesting guest stars. Mary Stuart Masterson showed up as Veronica’s therapist in the last episode. Anne Meara & Jerry Stiller, yes that’s Ben Stiller’s parents were on an episode that I definitely needed tissue for and Jason Ritter, yes that’s John Ritter’s son did a great job playing an aspiring singer with lung problems.

Mercy is a smart dramedy that keeps me coming back for more. One minute I’m laughing the next I’m going for some Kleenex. Okay so I’m a softy when it comes to heartfelt emotional stories. Check it out this Wednesday on NBC at 8/7c and let me know what you think.
