Great show
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.

Civil War hospital
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.

The Civil War from a Nurses view.
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.

Good civil war production.
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.
