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.

Been on this beautiful blue marble for 72 years. I've watched a lot of TV. I've never seen anything this amazing! I mentioned to my wife at least four times, "how did they direct this?" How they captured the impending doom built to a crescendo as the sirens were heard getting closer and closer. We knew it was going to be bad, it was worse. But it was an astonishing, chaotic ballet covered in sweat, tears and blood. Lots of blood. Mass shootings are becoming "normal" but few of us save those magnificent doctors, nurses, unit clerks and environmental staff have any idea what dealing with such a horrify event is like. I imagine this 40 minutes of exceptional drama gave us a peek. I'm spent from watching but can't wait until the next episode. So very well done. BRAVO!
I teared up nearly 3 times, gripped the remote and yelled "Hell yeah" every time they saved someone. One of the episodes of television I've seen in years. My best friend is an ER doc and it made me want to call her immediately. Just when you thought the show couldn't get any better, this episode takes you to a whole other level. I think I'm going to need to watch it again to catch all the details and I literally can't wait until next week for the next episode. You'll love to hate Javadi's mom. Dr Robby as always is terrific, but the newbies really shine as does the nursing team. It is a Must watch!
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).
