I am getting tired of getting hooked on a show and then gone in its first year. Lipstick Jungle and now Mercy. Mercy wast a great show , great acting and jut the right comedic timing. James Van Der Beek was a great addition. I enjoyed every character. Maybe USA will pick it up like it did Monk, wouldn't that be something.
