The Pitt

This is good stuff. I binged S1 over Christmas and am caught up on S2.

Who else is irritated by Santos?

I like the Santos character at times. I thought what she did at the end of season 1 taking in farm boy after she found him basically homeless living in the hospital showed a good side. This season she has been annoying. The whining about charting needs to stop. And clearly much like Jason Segel in shrinking she needs to get laid. She got blown off by the surgeon last EP. “You coming over tonight farm boy is going to see farm widow”. “nope.” Pretty sure Robbie picked up on all of that.

I’m up to about noon. I like the show. When it first came out my thoughts were I don’t much care for a sequel to ER given the involvement of Noah Wylie and John Wells. It’s obviously not that.

The concept is interesting and the medical stories compelling though at times they clearly are going way over the top with the emotional heartstring pulling. I get it but still.

My biggest concern is how do they really develop the characters in this format? We see how they are at work and I suppose that’s the point. The dynamics of who likes who and who does not, the butt kissing seems to be the extent.

All of the above said I really enjoy it and glad I saw it just for re upped for S2

Yeah, this was orginally developed as a reboot of ER, and it seems to me like an emotionally broader, more network TV version of that. Which is odd, since ER was on NBC and this is streaming. (It makes me curious to revisit ER and see if it is as gritty as I remember.)

IMO , The Pitt's biggest problem is the overwrought real-time conceit. Didn't Jack Bauer teach us 20 years ago what a drag that becomes after episode 2?

But the acting is bringing it. Wyle has a breakdown at the end of season 1 that made me wonder if he--the actor Noah Wyle--is doing ok.

I'm not really into hospital shows, but was probably going to give this one a shot until I found out about the litigation between Wyle and the ER producers, who claim he stole this. I think this was even supposed to be his ER character originally.

Also there's some reported weirdness about how he both portrays (on screen) and treats (IRL) the characters/cast of color. I hope that's not too "political" to say ( )... I'm deliberately restraining myself from writing out the other word/topic which also applies to Wyle and might get me banned.

Where are you reading/hearing about the rumors surrounding Noah Wylie and his treatment of his castmates? I know there were some questions regarding the removal of the Dr. Collins character and whether it had anything to do with the actress's church but that doesn't seem to be the case.

I believe the show creators did originally intend to reboot ER but Michael Crichton's (creator of ER) wife wouldn't go along so they had to change up the dynamic of the show - add the time element and different characters. As someone who watched ER, the only similarities seem to be the setting and the main actor. Should be a sufficient enough change to make it its own entity. If not, should Crichton's wife sue the creators of Grey's Anatomy, House, Scrubs, The Good Doctor, Chicago Med, New Amsterdam, The Resident, Chicago Hope, Diagnosis: Murder, etc.?

Perhaps the creators of St. Elsewhere or Marcus Welby, MD should sue Michael Crichton's estate?

That's gold Jerry. Legal gold !

He should sue them for



It's all the rage.

OK, the scene with her singing and calming the abandoned baby got me back on board.

I also like where it’s going with

having to unplug in fear of a cyber attack. Now, they will have to navigate everything more like the old days. No AI. Interested so see how they do that. We are so reliant on technology, I often wonder how screwed we would be if there were some major outage.

Not seeing nearly the buzz about this show on twitter as I did during S1... has it fallen off or are people just used to it now so it's not generating as much excitement?

Not on twitter so can't comment on the lack of 'The Pitt' discourse on that site (maybe the Russian bots have moved on?), but the show is still a strong, compelling watch. The next time you're at Starbucks and the barista asks what name to put on your cup, just say "Baby Jane Doe" in a strong Pittsburgh accent and see what kind of reaction you get.

Season 2 is rolling right along, and now it is getting really interesting. Twitter/X...whatever sucks, so don't worry about the "buzz" on there, ha.

Acting, stories, everything is still top notch. I tell everyone to watch it, and so far a few people have told me they are hooked.

[FrankTheTank]

Are we heading to wards Robbie getting fired??

This show is a rollercoaster, and I love it. I tell anyone & everyone to watch it, and it is (right now) the one show I don't want to miss or wait too long to watch. I feel like these last few episodes will go off the rails.

Supriya Ganesh will not return as Dr. Samira Mohan, the character she’s played since Season 1. This should come as no surprise to fans watching Season 2, as Mohan has really struggled with finding the balance between her personal life and her work, as well as figuring out what her future as a medical professional will look like.

How cool was it to see Luke Tennie on The Pitt (Sean from Shrinking)? Loved that.

It's weird. I know someone in real life who acts exactly like Santos (it's become a joke in my family). They even kind of look alike. This person even washed out of the health care industry because she couldn't stop announcing that she was smarter than everyone else (a key difference is that Santos actually IS better than most of the people around her).

It's odd to see such a unique personality show up on TV, like is this a kind of person?

[George Zipp]

S2 seems much more focused on some political ideas, some which I don't care to see on this show (ICE) and some which the commentary is appreciated, specifically the cost of medicine, medical treatment etc. This needs more attention given how (bleep) poor this is in our country (not political talk, facts).

The rest of the season seems to have shifted away from focusing mostly on medical cases being the center of attention. The show really can be renamed, at least for the season "Robbie's mental break down." Not sure what to think. Interested to see how it gets wrapped up next week in the finale. I've seen plenty of theories that he's going to leave and the season is going to end with him getting wheeled back in to the ER after getting into a motorcycle accident.

Well finally watched Thursday's episode, and wow, pretty heavy. My guess is Robbie just plans to ride his bike off a cliff somewhere. Good lord that dude has some demons. One last episode, and a lot of stuff going on.
