HawthoRNe: ‘Healing Time’ Preview
It’s another day and another round of crises on “Healing Time,” the second episode of TNT’s new Jada Pinkett Smith medical drama HawthoRNe.
Some — okay, many — television writers are bashing the show for various reasons, the most common being that it’s not a darkly humorous, hip-aspiring clone of Showtime’s new Edie Falco medical comedy Nurse Jackie.
But why should it have to be? After viewing tonight’s (June 23) episode in advance, I’m enjoying the series more than I did during the pilot.
Jada Pinkett Smith Is ‘HawthoRNe’
Film actress Jada Pinkett Smith both stars in and executive produces the medical drama HawthoRNe, TNT’s latest original series aimed at expanding the network’s reputation as an outlet for TV shows featuring strong and complicated female leads.
Smith plays the title character, Christina Hawthorne, the Chief Nursing Officer at Virginia’s Richmond Trinity Hospital. She’s also a recently widowed single mother of a difficult teenage daughter named Camille (Hannah Hodson) following her late husband’s death from cancer one year ago.
