Getting On

As you can see it's an HBO series. It's only half an hour long. I struggled to think how to state the plot correctly. I think the person that did it for IMDb did a good job with it: "Set in a geriatric extended care wing of a down-at-the-heels hospital, Getting On follows put-upon nurses, anxious doctors and administrators as they struggle with the darkly comic, brutally honest and quietly compassionate realities of caring for the elderly." Metcalf (Rosanne) is a doctor, Fobbs (Bones) is a nurse, and Shannon (SNL) is a patient's daughter. It has some good laughs - it can also be a little disconcerting. All in all, I say: SEE IT if you're bored and you can catch it on HBOGo.
