In a television landscape where medical dramas have been less about medicine and more about steamy romance, The Pitt delivers the uncut reality of emergency medicine through a sharp lens polished with a vivid sense of humanity not seen since ER.
Noah Wyle draws on his many years of experience playing Dr. John Carter on ER, but doesn't settle for a copy-and-paste approach with his character here. There's an evolution and depth to his Dr. Robby that separates his two extraordinary characters and makes this show a new experience rather than a papered-over retelling of ER. The Pitt delivers the experience of a shift in a busy urban Emergency Room by cutting out nothing; each episode is one hour straight of these doctors and nurses' experience during one day. Only partially through this first season and I'm hooked.
Quickly growing to love (and hate) the many characters. There's a humanity to them and an authenticity to their motivations, their emotions, their skills, and their mishaps. The characters have a heroism to them that is driven by simple actions and the normalcy of a shift, rather than forced/unrealistic drama. Real onion-peeling character development is occurring and while some of it may seem like it has a clear end point based on standard television tropes, you're still not so sure.
This is the medical drama that rights the ship back to course of reality rather than steamy romance medical drama. A love note and honor roll for the medical professionals who struggle, triumph, suffer, and heal in our country's most challenging healthcare environments.
