The Pitt

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'm a board certified EM physician who has worked in big trauma centers and small but busy community ER's. Most medical shows are hyper unrealistic, which normally leads to absurd requests from patients. I'm only one episode in, but this is the first show (besides scrubs) that paints an accurate picture of what it's like to work in emergency medicine. Bravo to the consultants they got for this one; clearly they consulted an emergency medicine physician or three. I look forward to watching the rest of the series. Future medical series should follow in The Pitt's footsteps and actually consult a real physician if you want it to be accurate.

I never watched many medical shows until I retired. Didn't want to bring the hospital home with me. Shows like House may have had good actors but were unrealistic fantasies when it came to real medicine. After retiring I watched all 15 seasons of ER over a few months. That show captured the reality of ER medicine as well as hospital politics, although it compressed time. Things happen fast, but not that fast or intense over an entire day, and not nearly as many open chest heart massages occur. But you really did get to see what it was like. Now The Pitt brings the same flavor of show as ER was. So if you enjoyed watching ER, you will like this.

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.

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.
