The Pitt

The Pitt is easily the best hospital series I've ever seen. It's been praised up and down by just about everyone and for good reason. It currently has a 97% on Rotten Tomatoes. This show will have you in your feelings so much by the time you finish even one episode you'll be as exhausted as the employees of The Pitt. I didn't think the every episode is an hour (like 24) would work for a medical show but I was wrong. It not only works but is a big reason why this series is so good. The pacing of each episode makes them fly by. No show or movie you've ever seen will prepare you for the experience of watching The Pitt. With how many medical series that have been made it's amazing that the genre was able to come out with such an original show as The Pitt.

There are a million doctor/hospital shows out there so you really need to be special to stick out and The Pitt absolutely does that. It's not hyperbole when I say it's by far the most realistic hospital show that's ever been made. I'll be shocked if this show doesn't get nominated for a bunch of awards, especially Noah Wyle in the lead role. I've always like Wyle but this is career defining performance. He's fantastic in every scene. I'm a binged, I love to binge watch shows, so much so that even for the shows that come out weekly I wait until the entire season is over before I start it so I can binge it. This is the first show I've ever seen that I can only watch a few episodes at a time because of how intense each mood each episode is. I'll still watch a few episodes each day and binge the entire season within 5 or 6 days but it's a work out doing it. I'm so glad that people have enjoyed it so much that it's already been renewed for another season.

When I first saw an ad for this, I thought why are we recreating ER with Noah Wyle again? So many shows seem to just be recreations these days. But this is a completely different show. This show is real and raw with excellent acting and storylines. It does get very intense and emotional but appropriately so. This is probably the most realistic hospital show I've seen. We get glimpses in the medical staff's lives without any "soap opera" stories. Even though we are thrown into a day in a busy ER, we get to know the characters quickly due to great writing with surprises scattered throughout the season. I look forward to seeing season 2 of this great new drama. Noah Wyle is excellent!

An outstanding show that deserves high praise-especially for its brilliant scriptwriters and skilled medical consultants. It captures the chaotic and emotional reality of a Level 1 trauma center with impressive accuracy. The medical procedures, character arcs, and raw emotional moments feel incredibly authentic. What truly stands out is how the show portrays the intense contrast of hospital life, where joy and heartbreak often unfold side by side. It's a powerful reminder of the resilience, urgency, and humanity that define the world of emergency medicine.

A must watch!! And Dr. Robby's acting is a cherry on the top!

A rare occasion when all of the elements come together and engage the viewer completely. The pacing is fast but with the right rhythm. The writers have done their research, and the little I know about emergency procedures feels convincing. They must have some great medical consultants supervising. But the personal stories, complex interactions, and character development are where it shines. And it's not always the highest profile actors carrying it - Noah Wyle is polished for sure, but all of the young residents are individuals whose uniqueness, sensitivity, strengths and weaknesses, will have you holding your breath and sighing in relief when they save a patient. This is seriously a top tier series. I never anticipate a new episode of a show dropping, but I do for The Pitt. I wonder if season two will be able to match it.
