6:00 P.M.

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!

The Pitt Season 1 Episode 12 presents one of television's most emotionally resonant and beautifully crafted portrayals of humanity rising in the face of adversity. From the very beginning of Dr. Robby's briefing, the episode establishes a poignant tone that pulls at the heartstrings and moves audiences profoundly-I found myself inexplicably emotional, reflecting on the depth of what unfolded.

What truly stands out is the powerful depiction of collective spirit and dedication. The characters transcend their personal struggles and egos, uniting as a cohesive force to tackle an overwhelming crisis. The hospital staff, who've dedicated years preparing tirelessly for an unknown yet inevitable moment, rise courageously and selflessly to meet the extraordinary challenges head-on. This isn't merely a story of individual heroism, but rather a beautifully choreographed portrayal of collective strength, resilience, and compassion.

The depiction of professionals coming together, navigating an ocean of pain and sadness with determination and empathy, is both moving and inspiring. It captures the essence of a true calling, vividly showing how deeply humanity can shine in moments of profound darkness. Such thoughtful storytelling elevates this episode beyond entertainment into genuine art.

I'm truly inspired by this portrayal of courage, commitment, and unity. This episode serves as a powerful reminder of the strength inherent in collective humanity when guided by compassion and dedication. An extraordinary achievement in storytelling, thank you for such a remarkable experience.

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.

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.

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).
