I just watched the recent episode which was excellent and wanted to make a thread, the show is very good, if you liked ER you're definitely gonna like this. Somehow it has gone under the radar which is a shame, more people need to watch this

 
It's getting a little too crazy for everything to be in a single day but yeah it's really good.
 
My wife has been binging ER for the past few months now and is now watching this. I watched a few episodes of this with her and noticed that some of the patients in ER are also in The Pitt. Both shows have the same producer too so that's probably why.
 
It is really good, however they really do shoehorn every possible "social issue" into the show, and then some of the dialogue is insanely preachy, other than that the actual show is good

It gets better in recent episodes, they seem to have completed their DEI propaganda requirements and now focus more on actual characters and plot

I noticed many shows have "preachy dialogue" moments not just nowadays back in the day too, but then it was more, let's all get along and accept each other, it may just be me but I feel today it's more preachy
 
"Ahhhhh fuuuuck I hate my job it's so busy alllll the timmmmeeeeee. Sick people come in and now I have to help them FUUUUUUCKKK MY LIFFEEEE"


Fuck off.

Had to laugh when they said nurses don't make a living wage.
 
Wasnt this show supposed to be a continuation of ER but NBC didnt want to do it, so they just made their own show?
 
I didn't like it at all. I thought ER was a much better character drama and medical show. I find Pitt too preachy, too smug with its intended moral messages, which makes characters seem more like cardboard cutouts. Additonally, the cinematography is very sterile and lifeless whereas ER had this breathing, grounded feel to it, the roughness of the 90's. ER was exceptionally good at making its characters human, and the medical aspect of it was really authentic and the various dilemmas healthcare personnel face. I didn't watch more than 4 episodes of Pitt.

Dude that's so real. I had an insane addiction to opioids after spending over a year in the hospital with leukemia. I had no choice, I would have died without them. After my recovery started, my doctors told me it would take 3-5 years before I would be fully off of opioids. I did it in 2 years, and it was easily the most difficult thing I've ever done in my life, and I even had a support structure. Shit is so fucked.

Anyway, this show looks pretty cool. I'm definitely gonna give it a whirl when I get some free time. Are all of the episodes already available, or are they rolling them out week-by-week?
 
I like that they convey that 'non-stop' feeling of working in an ER where a simple one day shift can feel like weeks or months.

I hope for your sake that your avatar is Megas XLR and not Optimus Prime. The latter would be like having Captain Planet as your avatar and stating what you just stated.

I hadn't heard that, but I do know that Michael Crichton's family filed a lawsuit over the show because it was so similar to E.R.

I mean, it's essentially ER with Carter in the role of Dr. Greene.

John Wells, who co-created ER with Crichton is the creator of The Pitt too.

Week to week. Yeah I know it's real, I guess there are some people who may need to know
 
No, please.

ER strikes me as a show with many incoherent situations and the later seasons with detestable characters.

I wouldn't watch the show again.


Dr. House is much better.

ER trailed off in the final seasons after most of the original cast left but the first few seasons were must-watch TV.

I remember watching the first handful of seasons when they premiered and then coming back a few years later, and it was like an entirely different show.

The episode when Dr. Greene died still sticks with me as one of the most emotional episodes of TV I've ever seen, and the episode where Lucy dies and Carter gets stabbed is a classic.

On the other hand, I can't remember a single episode of House and I watched most of that show too.
 
I like it, but there's definitely some forced and preachy social nonsense put in that will make you roll your eyes. I hope they reduce it for next season.
 
How many passing wacky comments have been made by the staff and it's resulted in a solution?
Or how many times as someone's illness made one of the staff reflect on their own problem?
Or how many times as it been lupus?

Don't worry it's not out of character for you at all.

Not everything but most of Hollywood/entertainment slop is about that shit and it's fucking obvious, their obnoxious lecturing is impossible to ignore anymore even if we wanted and trust me, I'd love to be oblivious like I was before and not have their political bullshit disrupt my enjoyment of a show/movies/game but it's impossible now. They did it so frequently and so smugly that the point of no return has been reached years ago for most of us that we can't help but notice this shit everywhere. But what a coincidence, when I watch 90s shows or movies I can't notice none of this cancer, hell, even if a show got preachy back then it did it in a respectful manner without smelling its own farts

I apologize for coming at you like that. These fucking culture wars are cancer on humanity. I shouldn't have let it get to me. Again, I apologize.

Honestly it wasn't anything bad but since you didn't like what you said in your post and deleted it I deleted mine too
 
I have a feeling that series isn't even going to be a huge hit... That actor is stuck in his same role.

They're already boring, I always disliked the idiot boss on ER. Honestly, I disliked 90% of the ER cast.

The ungrateful man still complains about having a job... He should even be grateful for having something to eat... Yes, I hate those incoherent bits.

I imagine it's a Warner Bros. production, right?

is it that the reason that only that company can do such stupid dialogue

Noah Wyle as Carter?

He did The Librarians and Falling Skies, both awesome ass shows where he was nothing like Carter.

If he wants to do an ER pseudo-sequel for some $$$ at this point in his career, I'd say he's earned it.

You're forgetting Leverage: Redemption also. I love that show.

I loved the original Leverage, never watched the....re-launch? Continuation?

He took over for Tim Dutton, right?

Technically yes, but it was more of an addition. Tim's character died and Wylie's character was recruited on the relaunch. It's on Prime Video if you want to check it out. Has a lot of the same charm and all of the cast returns except for Dutton. There's another new cast member... I posted her in the Beautiful Faces thread.
 
Thanks OP for making this thread - this is now my early contender for best show of 2025.

The first 5 episodes indeed are a bit woke/preachy, but the writing shifts and the show keeps getting better and better from there.

Noah Wyle was made for this role. I hope the next season sticks with him on his next day shift rather than continuing the time series by following the new night shift.
 
It's a bit early to compare these 15 episodes to the 331 ER ended up making. TP does have a clear focus on taking place in the hospital and not following the characters outside their ER work.
And I think it works very well. The beauty of an ER room is the drama comes to it. Either in the steady stream of normal stuff or an extreme event and the characters can be developed in their work and interactions. There has to be some level of exposition like the interns getting the introduction but for the most part all we need to learn about them comes from watching them do stuff.

But they could deliver lines in a more natural way.

Or they could have hired actors with a medical background instead of the nepo babies. Or at least had an actual doc on set to coach them through line readings.

It's just the nature of these shows to have stilted medical jargon but they could do better.

this is one of the better reviewed shows I've seen in a minute

I think a lot of this criticism is actually in the show by design to appeal to a broader audience btw

The fact that this wasn't an ER spinoff is such bullshit btw, fuck NBC. Imagine a broken Carter after years of trying to save lives in a broken system and after the death of his mentor Peter Benton, holy shit that would be excellent. Even though the show is good for anyone that watched ER it would instantly become even better

You are probably correct. The medical "info dump" they do every 5 minutes is likely a big art of the appeal for laymen. But if you know this world its just funny.

I just like the indian med student, yum.
