The Pitt is a realistic examination of the challenges facing healthcare workers in today's America as seen through the lens of the frontline heroes working in a modern-day hospital in Pittsburgh.

A medical drama the likes of https://next-episode.net/er with Noah Wyle in the format of https://next-episode.net/24 (in-real-time)? sign me up smile

First three episodes look great. It's of course a bit different than ER but not in a bad way.

You get a bit overwhelmed with all the characters they introduce right in the first episode, but they do give each and everyone a little bit of screen time for background knowledge smile

Shows that deserved more runtime:
Abbys | Dead Like Me | Devs | Firefly | Gangsta. | Jack of all Trades | Kevin (probably) saves the World | Lodge 49 | Mrs. Davis | NYC 22 | Powerless | Roadkill | Special Unit 2 | Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi | Stumptown | Surface | The Brave | The Company You Keep | The Crazy Ones | The Finder | The Middleman | Truth Seekers | Two Weeks to Live | Whiskey Cavalier

Re: The Pitt

Totally agree! Loving this show. Noah has aged well, but not an ER clone.
So many characters, but they do a good job introducing us to their backgrounds, quirks, and personality disorders LOL.

Spoiler

Is anybody else really annoyed by the one girl that bullies everybody but is clueless that it might not be the best way to make friends? Hopefully they will reveal something about her that doesn't want to make me slap some sense into her!

Re: The Pitt

Question about Episode 8

Spoiler

Is the honor-walk a real thing in the US?
Also that E.R. doctors attend the funerals as he said?

Still not watching the show, but I was curious and found this at https://www.adelaide.edu.au/news/news87942.html :

(430 Australian doctors)

The survey found that 57% of the doctors surveyed had attended at least one funeral of a patient – but the number varied greatly depending on which medical specialisation they had pursued. For example: 71% of GPs had attended a patient's funeral; 67% of oncologists; 67% of psychiatrists; 63% of palliative medicine specialists; 52% of surgeons and 22% of intensive care specialists.

Interesting... I never had any desire for a doctor to attend my funeral.

With those types of doctors I think it does make sense to some degree since they spent a lot more time with their patients than E.R. doctors.

Re: The Pitt

I was scoffing that an overworked ER would just stop everything for an honor walk. Nice, but impractical.

Re: The Pitt

Episode 10
Overall great episode.

Spoiler

I did not expect her to be right at all about the drug abuse.
Surprising but also it feels kinda cheap.
