"I don't trust you and you shouldn't trust each other but also must paradoxically work together; like in the Treasure of the Sierra Madre..."I am obsessed with the finale of season two. It is brilliance. The story line, the expressions, the timing, watching the complexities as an explosion of dashing dreams, adjustability, transformations, fear-facing, fast thinking and faulty decision-making abound. Too many great lines to count.  "I am allergic to animals, how many cats do you have." "7!"  "He's not really one of us..."  "I'm not dying anymore?" "Not fast enough for Medicare!"  and the "You have many layers..." amazing line!  I believe one of the best season endings ever!  A total delight. Can be watched over and over again.  a few highlights: Laurie Metcalf and Mary Kay Place schoolgirl bantering passing notes is hilarious! A stark contrast to the meeting's subject matter. Alex Borstein's quick marriage overlooking everything practical and maybe even her own feelings. Niecy Nash throwing in the garbage can her one dream in a simple gesture. Mel Rodriguez' s many layers, one being a small scream while being interrogated to the disgust of the women. The hospital's unbending hierarchy on the hunt for scapegoats. And Mrs. Lee and her stressed daughter and exquisite grand daughter with an eye shot I will never forget. There isn't a wasted moment and gives a lesson in universal expressions, so unlike the usual botox blank look we are getting used to.  Thank God for a third season to come!And oddly enough the song at the end gave me a very important and needed epiphany.

If you are looking for Glitz and Glam, forget it.If you appreciate the absurdity of every day living, you have found your home.I adore Nurse Jackie, as the former poster noted that she liked, however if you can polish off that sheen you might find something that at least looks like real life here.Easy to make exciting traumatic moments; it's a bit harder to convey the strength of emotion that stretches out when someone takes more than an episode to die.I am believer of reality vs. fiction, and as quirky "Getting On" is, it is heads and shoulders above Nurse Jackie in realism. What a fantastic balance "Getting On" has struck.It has a quiet "emergency"!

When i first saw the pilot episode, i was very confused, were are the beautiful nurses, the impeccable doctors and the busy floor, this does not mean that the characters are ugly or so, but this is not what we used to see in all hospital based series. When time passes by, you get used to the characters which you slowly like their simplicity, the dark sarcasm you hear and see. I really can't pinpoint to one thing a liked the most, but collectively i liked it all and it makes you eager to watch more. I think everyone will not laugh out loud while watching it, but deep down, you will find something that you like in this work, or may be in the upcoming episodes, we will have to wait and see.

Entertaining show. Focuses on female elderly patients in a hospital and the doctors and nurses who treat them. Many of the patients have alzheimers and dementia so as sad as their circumstances are they seem for the most part unaware. So it seems more sad for those who work there.What seems most interesting and funny albeit very is the absurdity of it all. The patient who dies on her 87th birthday. The nurse decides to eat the birthday cake that her sister had made and brought to the hospital. Her attitude being "well, it's not like SHE's going to eat it" and then after eating the cake is caught off guard by the sister who comes for a visit and the nurse has to break the news of her death while trying to conceal the chocolate frosting on her teeth.Or of course the first scene where they have a lengthy conversation involving several hospital personal who try to figure out who pooped in a chair and how they should deal with it.Not sure if I love it just yet, but it has potential.
