The Pitt

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!

I worked in EMS after training at a large teaching hospital. I rarely watch medical shows because the portrayal of medicine is so dumbed-down and inaccurate. I understand that it's a show and some license will be taken, but at least put in some effort to help me suspend disbelief. The Pitt puts in major effort to get it right (which I expect from creator of 'Southland' John Wells, one of the few cop shows that did it more accurately than most). ER's are places of extreme excitement, sadness and humor (the rat scene alone beat many comedies made today). It's fun to be a couple episodes into a medical show and looking forward to more instead of rolling my eyes and moving on.

Being Hollywood we get the usual moralizing, but most shows lecture while delivering inane dialogue with one dimensional characters. Give me a solid story in a realistic setting with great characters and I can sit through a fair share of finger-wagging. It's great seeing Noah Wylie in a hospital again, especially as a veteran doctor surrounded by fresh-faced medical rookies like he was in ER. The acting has been great from everyone. I recognize so many of these personalities from a career around this environment. The Pitt is a great new show.

I'm a physician / psychiatrist, and I am so happy to have a medical show I enjoy!

I spent three months in the trauma bay of a busy inner city ER, as a med student, and many more many more years in the ER for other rotations and for work.

It's refreshing to see the ER portrayed in a realistic way. Also, mental health patients and their issues are handled appropriately and with empathy. I wish they showed psychiatrists and other specialists as they consult in the ER.

I experienced burnout and took time off, this show has been a major factor in me reconsidering returning to work. It has reminded me of the redeeming part of my work and all the wonderful colleagues I had. As medicine becomes increasingly monetized and scrutinized for productivity and bled dry by private equity it helped me remember why I have so much to do this job.

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!

I have watched and re-watched every episode. Great show. Huge entertainment value; the show challenges my view of doctors, nurses, and hospitals. It has raised my awareness of the stress and struggles of the job working in an ER. This show humanizes the people, and gives us a much more realistic view of their personal and professional struggles than we have ever seen in a hospital show. So interesting. Great cast and characters I care about. Every character is likable. The pacing, balance, and action in the show is superb. This is among my favorite shows of all time, and I can't wait for season two.
