		Rachel Ho Exclaim!	"[2nd Season Review]: [Season 2] keeps up the same intensity and engrossing storytelling that earned Season 1 just about every award possible"

		Verne Gay Newsday	"[2nd Season Review]: No sophomore slump here —the second season is terrific (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"
		Michael Ordoña San Francisco Chronicle	"[2nd Season Review]: [It] remains as addictive as ever"
		Rodrigo Perez The Playlist	"[2nd Season Review]: [It] still lands because it refuses to confuse cynicism with realism"
		Peter Travers The Travers Take	"[2nd Season Review]: The second season is just as good, maybe better (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"
		John Anderson The Wall Street Journal	"[2nd Season Review]: Is [this] an accurate portrayal of emergency-room medicine? I have no idea. But I raced through season 2 like an ambulance on fire"
		Chris Vognar Boston Globe	"[2nd Season Review]: As season 2 reminds us, the secret to [this series] lies in the flawless execution. Every character, from the series leads to the smallest bit player, is perfectly cast"
		Melanie McFarland Salon	"[2nd Season Review]: Esta representación profundamente humana del desafío del sanador transmite un alcance de comprensión más amplio que cualquier otro drama médico"
		Andrew Parker The Gate	"[2nd Season Review]: Like a well oiled machine, [it] is a series with no weak spots that continues to function to the highest standards of series television (...) Rating: 9 (out of 10)"
		Lili Loofbourow The Washington Post	"[2nd Season Review]: A well-oiled machine —watchable and rewarding— even without one"
		Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"[1st Season Review]: Once it gets going, though, 'The Pitt' emerges as a well-executed medical procedural made by people who know from well-executed medical procedurals (...) The Pitt definitely isn’t ER, but at times it does ER-adjacent things in a way that fans of the genre will appreciate."
		Ryan Schwartz TVLine	"[1st Season Review]: No, 'The Pitt' is not an 'ER' reboot, but it may just be TV’s best, most authentic medical drama since the one that made Noah Wyle a star"
		Lisa Weidenfeld Boston Globe	"[1st Season Review]: You don’t need to be a revolutionary to make good TV, and it’s nice to see a show made with such a strong core"
		Kristen Baldwin Entertainment Weekly	"[1st Season Review]: As difficult as 'The Pitt' can be to watch, I'm looking forward to spending another 15 hours in this ER"
		Benjamin Lee The Guardian	"[1st Season Review]: There are interestingly knotty issues covered in the series but soapy acting and thinly written characters ultimately derail (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Terry Terrones Paste Magazine	"[1st Season Review]: Watching people struggle with pain, heartbreak, and loss on this show can be devastating so get the tissues ready. A high level of emotional heft is a testament to this show’s authenticity"
		Richard Lawson Vanity Fair	"[1st Season Review]: A show that strangely but effectively intertwines prestige TV trappings with the more basic tropes of network workplace dramedy. Wyle is an endlessly compelling lead"
		Nick Schager The Daily Beast	"[1st Season Review]: Where each episode chronicles one hour of Robby’s 15-hour shift, compounded with streaming’s allowance for more graphic content, lends the series an intensity that even trumps ER’s, if possible"
		Ben Travers IndieWire	"[1st Season Review]: With so many subjects and so little time given to developing them, it means suffering through a whole lot of blunt exposition and even more clichéd or half-formed characters"
		Alex Maidy JoBlo	"[1st Season Review]: A harrowing and powerfully realistic look into the emergency frontlines of post-COVID hospitals. (...) Rating: ★★★★★★★★★ (out of 10)"
		Zaki Hasan The Wrap	"[1st Season Review]: It offers compelling drama, written well and performed by a talented cast"
		Nina Metz Chicago Tribune	"[1st Season Review]: What distinguishes one show from another is whether the writing and casting is any good. And 'The Pitt' lands enough on both fronts to make it essential viewing"
		Maggie Boccella Collider	"[1st Season Review]: The series is best suited for bingeing rather than one episode at a time (...) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 10)"
		Kathryn VanArendonk Vulture	"[1st Season Review]: A story density reflected in a crowded set design and so many scattered shifts in focus that even the most emotionally blunt lines barely have time to register. And, yes, it’s fantastic"
		Meghan O'Keefe Decider	"[1st Season Review]: Features clunky dialogue, ridiculous cliffhangers, and overly obvious messaging associated with easy primetime viewing. It also boasts propulsive filmmaking, endearing characters, and one seismic performance from (...) Noah Wyle"
		Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times	"[1st Season Review]: It has a convincing energy (...) The setting allows for a cross section of humanity, united in distress, and occasional passages of sociopolitical commentary"
		Alan Sepinwall Rolling Stone	"[1st Season Review]: For the most part, it’s a powerful reminder of why certain formulas are so durable, how satisfying they can still be"
		Alison Herman Variety	"[1st Season Review]: Wyle affords Robby enough infectious warmth and believable flaws to make you believe he can marshal his troops, and his audience, through a grueling 15 hours"
		Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"[1st Season Review]: [It] is constantly pulling between realism and fiction. They’re windows into excellence and heartbreak, allowing us to see a bit of ourselves in both"
