Nurse Jackie. I have binged watch all of them. I'm not sure what the ending means.

Is she dead? If so, did she commit suicide by overdosing on purpose. Or is she not dead and just overdosed but with all the hospital staff gathering around her and will eventually be o.k.

I loved the program but me or hubby just could not figure out the ending.

I can't get SHO, so my sis used to tape for me. But, brilliant series. Fine ensemble cast.

like the Sopranos, the ending is in the mind of the viewer.

I watched the entire series and loved every minute. Except the end. I was so sad. I don't think she suicided.

Whether her life ended then or would end after another such episode later didn't really matter. There was no escape for her from the cycle.
