While The Pitt has realism to spare, it also balances the challenges experienced by its patients and staff with humor, dignity, and heart. .... The best new medical drama in years.
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. I’m just so pleased that someone finally decided it’s possible to take all the things that people love about network TV and make it work for streaming.
Una de las mejores series actuales sobre medicina,abarca toda la tensión de una sala de urgencias real, también afronta problemas de los protagonistas sin tener que desenfocarse de lo importante, si eres sensible puede que encuentres escenas fuertes, sin duda una de las mejores series médicas que han salido en los últimos tiempos.
And yet I found “The Pitt” bingeable, even beguiling, for its portrayal of E.R. doctors as not only dedicated medical professionals but also unofficial social workers.
It has a convincing energy. The actors have an easy way with the medical dialogue, the various needles and knives and tubes and paddles their characters need to use, the Purell they casually pump onto their hands on entering a room. .... In its mix of cool authenticity and hot theatricality, of cases to solve and personal business to arrange, “The Pitt” reminded me of “Homicide: Life on the Street.”
It’s a decent enough medical drama with promising episodes as it develops. There are worse things to be, and having Wyle as the star and beating heart of the show goes a long way. .... I would rather watch “The Pitt” figure itself out than watch an “ER” revival that is “Weekend at Bernie’s”-ing a premise.
The shadow of ER, a show that finished over 15 years ago, remains considerable and in trying to differentiate itself, The Pitt still finds itself stuck within it. Wells is never quite able to pick a lane and, as such, opts for the middle of the road.
The Pitt enters the crowded world of medical dramas with confidence and intensity. Set over a single 15-hour hospital shift in Pittsburgh, each episode unfolds in real time — a clever device that amplifies the tension and sense of urgency.Noah Wyle shines in the lead role, bringing depth and quiet charisma to a doctor caught between chaos and compassion. His presence anchors the show, and around him, the medical team faces ethical dilemmas, life-or-death cases, and the constant friction of a flawed healthcare **** direction captures the pulse of an emergency room without descending into hysteria. It’s fast, human, and emotionally grounded. While The Pitt doesn’t reinvent the genre, it delivers drama that feels immediate and alive, with moments of genuine warmth amid the pressure.Some storylines may lean a bit too hard on moral messages or familiar conflicts, but overall the series earns its place. For fans of ER or The Resident, this is a show worth following — intense, heartfelt, and full of life.
I have sincerely tried watching this show 3 different times. It has such potential to be a great and exciting hospital drama. My issue is that you can't get through an episode without some kind of political and woke ideology being shoved down your throat. I've tried skipping over scenes or even skipping episodes hoping that I can continue the show without the nonsense, only to be met with another controversial and far left ideology. Which stinks because I really liked the main character (Noah Wyle), there were sone good story lines, and likeable characters, but you have to really sift through all the bs to be able to enjoy them. Unfortunately, this will have to go under the ever growing list of 'shows and movies ruined by woke ideology'.
Pretty typical doctor (ER) show. Nothing special. Typical patients. Typical conflicts. Same dance with different dancers. They look good so... We'd give this a "go ahead and watch if you like this type of show."
ER dramas are, by nature, great for spotlighting a wide range of people, cultures and lifestyles. This makes them perfect for the narrow range of woke nonsense storylines that Hollywood demands to normalize. You can check every box here and it's still preachy, but it's also still a well made show. The Pitt is basically a more political sequel to 'ER' with an older John Carter in the Dr. Green role.
