TNT has several remarkable shows in their line-up. HAWTHORNE is one of them. I was sent this first two episodes of it’s second season, to review for my blog. This show is centered around Christina Hawthorne (Jada Pinkett Smith), Chief Nursing Officer of Richmond Trinity Hospital. This show is kicking off it’s second season with the close of Richmond Trinity and the staff being transferred to a new hospital.
The dramatic twist, where Richmond Trinity was a top notch hospital, the new hospital is a run down hospital, with below par care. It also has a Chief Nursing Officer that refuses to give up her position for Christina. This leads to the two of them going head to head, challenging each other’s authority.
The relationship between the staff that transfers in and those that have been there for a while, is complicated. You can see how the hospital’s veteran employees are depressed and without hope or care. The new staff, the ones that are used to providing the best in patient care, struggles at times to fit in.
This season promises to be interesting. There is a new relationship developing for Christina’s daughter. This may lead to mother and daughter clashing. You have two Chief Nursing Officers that are used to managing all nurses, now splitting responsibilities. It will be interesting to see how that situation is resolved.
You can catch the new season of HAWTHORNE on Tuesdays, beginning June 22, at 9:00PM ET on TNT.
