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 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.

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.

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!

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.
