Mercy Street

It's about the Civil War and is a very good story. I just wish it was longer by about 25 or more episodes.

As described.

Wife and I cut the cord and she was watching this on pbs. Due to life we missed the last 2 episodes so I ordered this as a suprise. Seller shipped fast and on time. Product good quality. Show is great (and I don't particularly care for the Civil War era). If your a civil war buff this show provides the "other side" of the conflicts.

The medical scenes are depicted with startling frankness, which is educational in many ways. The stories of the people involved, doctors and nurses and hospital staff were interesting.

I loved the series! Was totally upset when I found out it was only on for two seasons! Left everything hanging!

Mercy Street is an American period medical drama television series created by Lisa Wolfinger and David Zabel. It is set during the Civil War and follows two volunteer nurses from opposing sides who work at the Mansion House Hospital in Alexandria, Virginia. I missed Mercy Street's first season and when I saw the preview of the upcoming second it looked interesting enough to make a small investment so I could watch the series from the beginning. There are six episodes in the first season and I enjoyed them all and have kept up with the new season, looking forward to each episode. There is blood and gore in a few scenes: Not for the squeamish. Lots of drama and intrigue along with a sprinkling bit of humor. The costuming is very authentic as are the scene settings. This series certainly is no Downton Abby but enjoyable nonetheless. With the graphic hospital scenes I wouldn't recommend this series be viewed by small children.

I enjoyed this show very much and felt that the production was very well done and probably very true to the real situation. I would have liked to have more episodes to follow on with the characters since it showed the medical, private individuals, both black and white, instead of the usual battlefield scenes.

Love, Love Love this show! Am so disappointed they won't be continuing the program!! Won't stop me from watching Seasons 1 & 2 over and over again.
