The Pitt - 2025
-
Attending physician Dr. Michael "Robby" Robinavitch starts a grueling shift at the Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Hospital's emergency room (ER), nicknamed "the Pitt" by its staff, by welcoming four newcomers: Victoria Javadi, a third-year medical student; Dennis Whitaker, a fourth-year medical student; Dr. Trinity Santos, an intern; and Dr. Melissa "Mel" King, a second-year resident. Throughout the next fifteen hours, the students and residents learn more about their professional duties, while trying to deal with the emotional toll of patient care and the hardships of working in an overcrowded and underfunded ER, guided by Robby and the Pitt's other staff members, including charge nurse Dana Evans, second-year resident Dr. Cassie McKay, third-year resident Dr. Samira Mohan, and senior residents Dr. Heather Collins and Dr. Frank Langdon. Meanwhile, Robby struggles to cope with traumatic memories resurfacing on the fourth anniversary of his mentor's death, which happened in the Pitt during the COVID-19 pandemic.
A really intense single day in a ER, each episode is one hour, 15 hours in the day. The medical drama is there in abundance, but I found myself being invested in this huge ensemble cast in a few episodes. Some of the onscreen injuries did make me squeamish, but they are well done.
Some of the TV tropes you can see coming, but it doesn't make the show any less entertaining.
I highly recommend the Pitt, its a great show to binge. Its frenetic enough that it is NOT second screen material.

This is closer to an adult version of MASH then it is a episode of HOUSE, so set your expectations accordingly

I love the lack of 'artificial' drama. All the drama that happens in the show happens for 'legit' reasons - it's not just there to try and keep you watching.

The custody dispute and the young "almost mom" bit felt a little jerry springer like
