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.

I worked in EMS for years and it's hard to watch most medical shows with all the ridiculous "TV" medical procedures. I never understood why shows wouldn't do some homework to get things right - this show did! Not only were the medical scenes accurate, the story is amazing (to be expected from any John Wells show). The acting is top notch, it's great to see Dr. Carter in his senior years (yes, he's Dr. Robby, but ER fans know who he REALLY is...). There are no weak spots in the cast - they are all great actors - so are the guests. All good and all bring it. The direction is awesome, the lighting is great (I'm so sick of dark shows that seem to be the trend). The make up is amazing! I've seen the trauma depicted in real life and TV shows rarely look accurate. One last plus - no trigger warnings! Thank you! A trigger warning is a plot spoiler - if trauma on TV is upsetting to you go watch Paddington Bear (which is seriously excellent).

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.

One of the best shot & directed 40 minutes on television in recent memory. Actors also do a spectacular job of not flexing their emotional chops which would overly dramatize things. The calmness amongst the trauma gives the scenes in this episode a much more realistic feel as does the style of filming-lots of long and masterfully choreographed shots. Also, writers do a great job perfectly threading plot lines and character developments without taking away from the realities of triage. Bravo to all above and below the line crew with this whole show of course, but most specifically this episode.

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.
