Hawthorne is a medical drama series from TNT that aired from 2009 to 2011. The show follows the personal and professional life of Christina Hawthorne, a Chief Nursing Officer at the fictional Richmond Trinity Hospital in Richmond, Virginia. The lead character Christina Hawthorne is played by Jada Pinkett Smith, who delivers a strong and realistic portrayal of a woman dedicated to her job and her family. Christina is a strong-willed and compassionate person who has a deep passion for her work, which leads her to clash with hospital administration and other healthcare professionals.

Alongside Smith, the show features an ensemble cast of talented actors, including Suleka Mathew and Hannah Hodson. Suleka Mathew plays the role of Bobbie Jackson, a nurse and one of Christina's closest friends. Bobbie is a strong-willed woman, who is not afraid to speak her mind and often provides a counterbalance to Christina's more emotional reactions.

Hannah Hodson portrays Camille Hawthorne, Christina's teenage daughter. Camille is a typical teenager, but she has had to deal with the loss of her father and her mother's demanding job, which sometimes results in her feeling neglected. Camille plays an essential role in the show, as she often serves as a sounding board for Christina, and her presence adds a layer of emotional complexity to the series.

Throughout the show's three seasons, Hawthorne tackles a wide range of medical and ethical issues, including organ transplants, cancer treatments, patient neglect, and physician misconduct. However, the show is not just about the medical challenges; it also explores the personal challenges that the hospital staff faces. This includes personal problems such as addiction, death, and divorce, which often end up affecting patient care.

What sets Hawthorne apart from other medical dramas is its focus on the nursing staff. Rather than exclusively following the physicians' actions, the show provides a glimpse into the world of nurses and their vital role in patient care. The nursing staff is shown as the backbone of the hospital and often the ones responsible for ensuring that patients' needs are met.

In addition, the show also touches on issues such as diversity in the workplace, the importance of family support, and communication. It brings to light the struggles and personal dilemmas that the nurses and the hospital staff face daily.

Hawthorne is well-written and well-acted, and the series explores medical issues with a realistic and empathetic perspective. The show gained a loyal following, especially among medical professionals, who appreciated its portrayal of the nursing staff.

In conclusion, Hawthorne is a compelling and emotionally-charged medical drama that offers a unique perspective on healthcare. The show is driven by the strong performances of its cast, led by Jada Pinkett Smith, who delivers a captivating performance as the dedicated and compassionate nurse, Christina Hawthorne. The drama offers an insight into the world of nursing and the personal struggles faced by hospital staff. It is a realistic and engaging series that leaves a strong impression on its viewers.
