Le Pitt

I worked in EMS after training at a large teaching hospital. I rarely watch medical shows because the portrayal of medicine is so dumbed-down and inaccurate. I understand that it's a show and some license will be taken, but at least put in some effort to help me suspend disbelief. The Pitt puts in major effort to get it right (which I expect from creator of 'Southland' John Wells, one of the few cop shows that did it more accurately than most). ER's are places of extreme excitement, sadness and humor (the rat scene alone beat many comedies made today). It's fun to be a couple episodes into a medical show and looking forward to more instead of rolling my eyes and moving on.

Being Hollywood we get the usual moralizing, but most shows lecture while delivering inane dialogue with one dimensional characters. Give me a solid story in a realistic setting with great characters and I can sit through a fair share of finger-wagging. It's great seeing Noah Wylie in a hospital again, especially as a veteran doctor surrounded by fresh-faced medical rookies like he was in ER. The acting has been great from everyone. I recognize so many of these personalities from a career around this environment. The Pitt is a great new show.

A rare occasion when all of the elements come together and engage the viewer completely. The pacing is fast but with the right rhythm. The writers have done their research, and the little I know about emergency procedures feels convincing. They must have some great medical consultants supervising. But the personal stories, complex interactions, and character development are where it shines. And it's not always the highest profile actors carrying it - Noah Wyle is polished for sure, but all of the young residents are individuals whose uniqueness, sensitivity, strengths and weaknesses, will have you holding your breath and sighing in relief when they save a patient. This is seriously a top tier series. I never anticipate a new episode of a show dropping, but I do for The Pitt. I wonder if season two will be able to match it.

An outstanding show that deserves high praise-especially for its brilliant scriptwriters and skilled medical consultants. It captures the chaotic and emotional reality of a Level 1 trauma center with impressive accuracy. The medical procedures, character arcs, and raw emotional moments feel incredibly authentic. What truly stands out is how the show portrays the intense contrast of hospital life, where joy and heartbreak often unfold side by side. It's a powerful reminder of the resilience, urgency, and humanity that define the world of emergency medicine.

A must watch!! And Dr. Robby's acting is a cherry on the top!

There are a million doctor/hospital shows out there so you really need to be special to stick out and The Pitt absolutely does that. It's not hyperbole when I say it's by far the most realistic hospital show that's ever been made. I'll be shocked if this show doesn't get nominated for a bunch of awards, especially Noah Wyle in the lead role. I've always like Wyle but this is career defining performance. He's fantastic in every scene. I'm a binged, I love to binge watch shows, so much so that even for the shows that come out weekly I wait until the entire season is over before I start it so I can binge it. This is the first show I've ever seen that I can only watch a few episodes at a time because of how intense each mood each episode is. I'll still watch a few episodes each day and binge the entire season within 5 or 6 days but it's a work out doing it. I'm so glad that people have enjoyed it so much that it's already been renewed for another season.

I'm a physician / psychiatrist, and I am so happy to have a medical show I enjoy!

I spent three months in the trauma bay of a busy inner city ER, as a med student, and many more many more years in the ER for other rotations and for work.

It's refreshing to see the ER portrayed in a realistic way. Also, mental health patients and their issues are handled appropriately and with empathy. I wish they showed psychiatrists and other specialists as they consult in the ER.

I experienced burnout and took time off, this show has been a major factor in me reconsidering returning to work. It has reminded me of the redeeming part of my work and all the wonderful colleagues I had. As medicine becomes increasingly monetized and scrutinized for productivity and bled dry by private equity it helped me remember why I have so much to do this job.
