Best episode so far for an incredible show that's been packed with great episodes all along. The overarching stories have been coming together the past couple of episodes and the tempo never flags - things are getting even more intense. This episode reminds me of the power of human collaboration, people working together in the face of a terrible disaster. Overwhelmed and out of resources, the doctors must improvise their way through the chaos. There's nothing quite like the humanity that can arise from tragedy, the brilliance of human beings working as a well oiled machine. Bravo to everyone involved in this top notch show.

I wish this episode was 3 hours longer. As an ER trauma nurse in my past this show is the most realistic inside an inner city hospital experience I've seen. It's gut wrenching to see an episode start off slow and devolve into chaos so quickly as they work to save people from the mass shooting. Obviously a lot is embellished for the sake of viewership but not in an overly ridiculous way. The running out of supplies, running out of blood, and confusion of it all playing out was very well done. There was only one brief scene addressing family members and their reaction to the shooting but I'm sure we will see more of that in the coming episodes.

Very well done. Great job to the producers.

Immediately reminded of the gut wrenching helplessness that comes from not knowing a loved one's condition. Dr. Robby "Carter" pushes through and proceeds to inform, pump up, and prepare his staff while also calming them before the storm. When the aftermath dance starts you know you are in for a helluva episode. All involved are firing on all cylinders. Primary scenes are visually engaging, and masterfully performed. Even the margins and backgrounds are bubbling with excellence. The entire rollercoaster ride ebbs and flows through a sea of blood, guts, and human despair. The payoffs are the saves, the improvised miracles, and the occasional chuckles. So. Well. Done.

God bless those who live the daily realities that feed this fiction. Outstanding episode of a great show. Thank you for tonight's beautiful chaos.

It is the most beautiful, disturbing dance of chaos i have ever seen orchestrated.

From the prep talk to the well oiled machine that becomes a street triage (MASK UNIT). This episode is on the level of Breaking Bad, The Wire and the Sopranos, only this is based on real life.

Everything becomes a cliff hanger, Noah's, step son, High doctor, patients son's involvement in shooting, doctor that miscarried and patient that beat-up nurse. So many plots, so many answers waiting to be revealed. This episode is only 37 minutes long and it's the best TV in a long time, and I have a feeling the next one will be better.

I have really been enjoying The Pitt, but episode 12 is THE best episode of this show to date. The intensity and absolute chaos keeps you on the edge of your seat every second you are watching. Incredible acting and extremely realistic. My sister is a emergency room nurse at one of our local hospitals and she said that this show is the most realistic depiction of emergency medicine.

I'm invested in all the characters, even the ones with personalities I find annoying. I appreciate the lack of doctor/nurse romance drama. To me, the best part of the show is the pace of each episode, and the fact that it doesn't fall flat or drag on tediously.

I loved Noah Wylie in ER, but I love him even more in The Pitt.10/10.
